Coronavirus Resource Center

Dear Friend,

I just voted to pass an emergency funding package that provides our federal public health agencies with the resources they need to lead an all-hands-on-deck, science-based response to the coronavirus outbreak. I am also continuing to work with the state and our tribes to ensure our public health infrastructure in New Mexico is ready for the road ahead and have the resources to prepare and respond to any potential outbreaks.

I encourage every New Mexican to stay informed about the virus and how to keep yourself and your family healthy. To help provide some of that information, I recently launched a Coronavirus Resource Center on my website, to help you stay informed about the coronavirus and what you can do to protect yourself from it and other illnesses. I want to ensure you have accurate, science-based information.

While there are currently no confirmed cases of coronavirus in New Mexico, the New Mexico Department of Health urges you to protect yourself by avoiding all non-essential travel to China and following good hygiene practices to stop the spread of germs, similar to preventing the flu. This includes washing your hands regularly, as well as coughing and sneezing into a sleeve or tissue.

If you have any questions, please be sure to speak with your health care provider and click here to visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website on the coronavirus.

Sincerely,

MARTIN HEINRICH

United States Senator
