From the Daily Mail:
New Mexico closes roads in Gallup following outbreak
New Mexico’s Governor has issued a three-day emergency order in the city of Gallup where roads will be sealed off and businesses closed during peak hours in a desperate bid to stop a surging coronavirus outbreak.
On Friday Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham invoked the state’s Riot Control Act to ban all traffic in Gallup for non-residents, ordered all businesses to close from 5pm to 8am, and mandated residents stay home except for essential trips from Friday through Monday.
The city of 22,000, along with the bordering the Navajo Nation, has seen the number of COVID-19 infection rates rise, leaving intensive care facilities in hospitals inundated with patients.
Gallup is a central hub selling basic household supplies, liquor, and water-containing refills for people who live in the remote parts of the Navajo Nation and surrounding McKinley County and for indigenous Zuni Pueblo people.
