LAS CRUCES, NM (KFOX14/CBS4) — COVID-19 spot testing at restaurants across New Mexico begins this week.
The new initiative is part of Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s new public health order that went into effect on Friday.
“Businesses will be notified ahead of time that [the Department of Health] will be coming to do these spot tests and if employees refuse, then they can only provide outdoor dining at 75 percent capacity, they will not be able to provide indoor dining,” Communication Director for the New Mexico Dept. of Health Marisa Maez said.
The National Guard will be helping the NMDOH administer the tests. Rapid tests will be used, giving businesses results within minutes.

We had a wedding in July (I think the rules are less strict now), and the caterer said we had to provide them with a list of all the names and addresses for those who attended (for them to be able to turn over to the county health dept, I suppose). We didn’t provide the list, and they didn’t ask us for it again, and no one who attended came down with Covid-19 within the 2-3 weeks following the event.
We are the state and we are here to help you. Show us your papers and shut up or else.
Why not go door to door to homes? Why do Rat tyrants want to destroy the restaurant business?
How long until these people are treated like the revenuers were in the early 1900’s??
“Why do Rat tyrants want to destroy the restaurant business?”
Because the slim portion of their constituents who have jobs, work there. /s
Actually, it’s a pathology worse than the Chinese plague. They are genuinely afraid. I know some of them, some are relatives.
I don’t question their genuine fear. Hell, I CHOOSE to avoid sharing indoor air with other people to the most reasonable extent I can. And I don’t think I’m crazy...only my ex wives do.
I don’t do restaurants, bars, theaters etc. where you’re in the same airspace as a dozen or more people for an hour or more. I go to the same grocery store each time because I know where everything is and can be and out in 10-12 minutes.
Again, I don’t think I’m crazy...but, like my ex wives, some of you may.
Constitution...we don’t need no stinkin’ Constitution.
Being genuinely afraid, the fear consumes them and prevents them from taking any risks. You, on the other hand are like so many of us. We know the risks and take the precautions we are comfortable with including staying out of some spaces and limiting our time in others. I'm the same way, I (and most of those I work with) won't go to Walmart (my elderly neighbor will, but she will get up early before there is a crowd). That way we continue to work our own way through this without losing ourselves to fear and isolation.
And, BTW, I agree with you and don't think you are crazy.
Along with, Hey Boss remember that raise I asked for and never got? Nice dining room you have there, would be a shame to lose it. I'll expect a nice $1k bonus for any unasked for medical test ramming a stick up my brain.
They have had shut downs, mandatory mask wearing, distancing etc. (my daughter is disgusted with it out there) and the cases of Covid are spiking more than e states that are open!
Provide “a” phone number
Area code-555-1212
That’s a phone number.
Or your local time and temperature number.
Will they be required to do three “Sieg Heils”?
Absolutely, here let me fill out that note book for you.
Hunter Biden, (505)867-5309.
And no I’m not showing my driver license, I can vote without one. I can dine without one.
Holy Banana Republic, Batman!!! Governorlissima Lujan strikes again.
Well, at least they aren’t forcibly testing customers at gunpoint, ....
YET.
You go out to have a relaxing meal and some worthless government “worker “ crams a long swab up your nose. What pathetic hate-filled fascist losers...
UNREAL!!
This HINO Gov is completely out of control!
(But, you already know that :)
And, back in July, the NM Supreme Court overruled lawsuits filed against these lockdowns by NM Restaurant Assc and restaurants.
Just can’t believe this.
“really...who doesn’t want a free covid test?”
Me. No tests and no Covid-1984 vaccine for me. I never even think about this virus.
At my last hair appointment their temperature gun wasn’t even working. Low batteries. They’d just shrug and let you in. lol
