New Mexico Travel Advisory
On Sept. 3, 2020, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham issued a revised executive order amending the mandatory quarantine for individuals arriving to the state of New Mexico. In this amended executive order, individuals who travel to New Mexico from low-risk states are exempt from the mandatory travel quarantine, based on the following criteria:
- COVID-positivity rate less than 5%, and
- new case rate equal to or less than 80 per 1 million residents
Furthermore, individuals who can show documentation of a valid negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours before or after entry into New Mexico are exempt from the 14-day quarantine requirement, regardless of the state from which they have traveled. This exemption does not apply to persons entering New Mexico after traveling outside the United States.
Based on this criteria, the states below colored green are deemed low-risk and states and territories colored red are deemed high-risk.

Updates to maximum occupancy for lodging properties
The public health order was updated to extend maximum occupancy for hotels and lodging venues that have completed the NM Safe Certified program to 75%. The same exemptions for counting maximum occupancy written into previous public health orders still apply. Hotels and lodging properties must still operate in accordance with COVID-Safe Practices.
