From Mayor Ken Ladner

I want to thank all of you who are doing your part to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. These are challenging times and al-though I want things to get back to normal as much as you do, things are not normal yet. The number of virus cases continues to increase in Southern New Mexico. This is not a time to let our guard down.

I want to strongly encourage you to continue safe practices. Though we are reopening slowly, it is still important that we follow the Governor’s public health orders. When in public, be sensible, wear a mask, social distance, and please, no mass gatherings or groups of over five. We need our economy to get on the road to recovery, but we have to be safe doing it.

Please remember, that wearing a face mask in public isn’t just for your benefit but it’s also for those with whom you come into contact. I know that if each one of us does our part we will emerge from this pandemic a stronger and more united community.

Thank You.
