A New Mexico official told a local news outlet that the CCP virus-related state ban on mass gatherings could last for as long as 18 months.

Tourism Secretary Jen Paul Schroer said last week that New Mexico’s prohibition of gatherings of more than 100 people may not be lifted earlier than when a vaccine becomes available, the Santa Fe New Mexican reported.
