New Mexico’s statewide mask mandate for indoor public spaces is no more, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said in a surprise announcement Thursday.
“I’m announcing … that the mask requirement for indoor settings is gone,” Grisham, a Democrat, said at a news conference at the end of a 30-day legislative session. “If you’re not vaccinated, I don’t know if it’s the best idea, but [the mask mandate] is no longer an indoor setting requirement.”
