4. AMENDMENTS:
The Mayor has evaluated independent findings on June 25, 2020 by the Governor,
Epidemiologist and Health Department of the State of New Mexico that epidemic levels of
outbreak of the virus exist in neighboring states, such as Utah, Arizona and Texas that are
impacting residents in New Mexico and leading to increased spread of the virus and
hospitalizations to New Mexico residents. Further, the mayor has reviewed reporting by
staff that high numbers of visitors to Taos are arriving from highly impacted states,
including Florida, Texas, Georgia, Arizona, Utah and California and that many of these
states do not have or have relaxed or are not enforcing requirements for face coverings and
social distancing. Additionally, the Town has received reports and complaints from
businesses and residents that numbers of these out-of-state visitors ae refusing to comply
with requests to maintain social distancing or to wear face coverings when offered and that
this is leading to verbal and increasing levels of confrontation, for which businesses and
employees are seeking help. The Town is also receiving reports and has conducted
investigations where businesses and employees, especially in grocery stores and
restaurants, are not wearing face coverings when handling or serving food.
Therefore, in order to assist businesses and employees in avoiding confrontations, the
increasing potential for violence and the possibility of transmission of the virus to locals,
as well as to ensure the protection of locals and visitors alike by requiring face coverings
and social distancing at the municipal level, I do hereby declare the following additional
public health measures to be taken and in force:
A. The wearing of face coverings when in public or interacting with the public or in a
place where a person may interact with the public, deliberately or not, all persons
including employees, customers, residents and tourists over the age of 4, shall be
required to wear face coverings, with the exceptions while exercising, drinking and
eating.
B. Social distancing(maintaining a distance in all directions of a minimum of 6 feet) shall
be maintained by all persons when outside of your home, temporary or permanent
residence. All businesses, offices, organizations, museums, movie theaters, galleries,
spas, gymnasiums,offices,health facilities,any and all commercial activities,whether
for-profit or non-profit, shall provide such physical and informational measures as
required to maintain social distancing between all persons.
C. Staff are directed, through the Town Manager, to produce necessary informational
mechanisms so as to alert businesses, the public and tourists as to these requirements
and shall develop a system of reporting and enforcement so as to ensure their
implementation in consultation with the Town Code Officer, the Chief of Police and
the Town Attorney.
D. Violations of this order shall be considered a petty misdemeanor, consistent with the
Town Code and laws of the state of New Mexico.
E. Executive Order 2020-54, issued July 1, 2020 by the Governor of the State of New
Mexico is hereby adopted and shall be publicized and enforced.
5. EFFECTIVE DATE:

Closing All Businesses and Non-Profit Entities Except for those Deemed Essential and
Providing Additional Restrictions on Mass Gatherings Due to COVID-19
PREFACE
The purpose of this amended Public Health Emergency Order is to amend restrictions on
mass gatherings and business operations, which were implemented in response to the spread of
the Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19"). Continued social distancing and self-
isolation measures are necessary to protect public health given the potentially devastating effects
that could result from a rapid increase in COVID-19 cases in New Mexico. While this Order
continues some loosened restrictions on mass gatherings and business operations, the core
directive underlying all prior public health initiatives remains intact; all New Mexicans should
be staying in their homes for all but the most essential activities and services. When New
Mexicans are not in their homes, they should strictly adhere to social distancing protocols and
wear face coverings to minimize risks. These sacrifices are the best contribution that each of us
can individually make to protect the health and wellbeing of our fellow citizens and the State as a
whole. In accordance with these purposes, this Order and its exceptions should be narrowly
construed to encourage New Mexicans to stay in their homes for all but the most essential
activities.
It is hereby ORDERED that:
1. All current guidance documents and advisories issued by the Department of
Health remain in effect.
2. The following Public Health Emergency Orders remain in effect through the
current Public Health Emergency and any subsequent renewals of that Public Health Emergency
or until they are amended of rescinded:
A. March 13, 2020 Public Health Emergency Order to Temporarily Limit
Nursing Home Visitation Due to COVID-19;

businesses critical to the economy and infrastructure of the State), potential displacement of
persons, and closures of schools or other places of public gathering;

public spaces are the most effective ways New Mexicans can minimize the spread of COVID-19
