Here's what happened today: A shocking new high point for cases. A shocking new record of deaths. New Mexico's first pediatric COVID-19 death – a pre-teen has died.

Please understand: This is an emergency.

I will say it again: This is an emergency. Shelter in place.

The virus is everywhere. Don't go out. Don't go shopping. Don't take extra errands. Don't go see friends. Don't infect your loved ones. Don't end up in a hospital.

Here's what you CAN do:

Stay at home. Protect your family. Protect your community. Protect our state.
