Environment Department COVID-19 Watchlist Update Oct. 31

NMED News:

…List includes New Mexico businesses with two or more rapid responses within the last 14 days

The New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) has updated its daily Rapid Response COVID-19 Watchlist, which includes New Mexico establishments that have had two or more rapid responses in the last 14 days.

There are 103 establishments as of today on the Watchlist. The Rapid Response COVID-19 Watchlist is posted here.

A rapid response is initiated when the state learns of a positive COVID-19 case in the workplace. NMED or the state agency initiating the rapid response will offer direction to establishments regarding testing, quarantining and isolating, disinfecting, and COVID-Safe Practices.

The Watchlist currently only includes organizations for which NMED conducts rapid responses, including grocery stores, restaurants, retail stores, gyms, salons and business offices. The Department will include other establishments on the Watchlist soon.

The Rapid Response COVID-19 Watchlist allows the public to make more informed decisions when patronizing establishments and also assists NMED’s Occupational Health and Safety Bureau and other state and local regulatory agencies in evaluating whether organizations are complying with state public health orders and COVID-Safe Practices.

State regulatory agencies may initiate compliance investigations and/or exercise enforcement when establishments fail to adhere to required practices.
