Please be mindful of the following general guidelines for travel to and within the state of New Mexico:
- As of March 27, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham issued an executive order requiring air travelers to New Mexico self-isolate for at least 14 days to help combat the spread of COVID-19.

- emergency first responders
- health care workers
- military personnel
- individuals employed by a federal agency or a national defense contractor
- individuals arriving to New Mexico pursuant to a court order
- individuals traveling to New Mexico to conduct business activities
Outside of the modified 14-day self-quarantine requirement on certain travel to New Mexico (see above), there are currently no domestic travel restrictions to the state of New Mexico. However, visitors to New Mexico should continue to follow the protective measures outlined by the CDC:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
