New Mexico reviewing CDC mask guidance before potential changes to public health order

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- The New Mexico Department of Health is reviewing the Center for Disease Control’s new mask guidance for fully vaccinated individuals.

The CDC said Thursday people fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear a mask outdoors or in most indoor settings.

A spokesperson for the governor said adjustments to the state’s public health order are expected after "a thorough evaluation of the new information."

Until the state releases new guidance, people, vaccinated and unvaccinated, are still required to wear a face covering indoors.
