  • We encourage you to:

  • Remain calm for yourself and for others, using whatever self care practices are important to you

  • Practice good hygiene, washing your hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds, coughing and sneezing into a tissue of upper sleeve rather than onto your hand. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.

  • Practice social distancing in order to minimize the spread of this virus

  • Be especially mindful of older adults and those who are immunocompromised and who are the most at-risk. Consider ways that you can support elders to gain access to cleaning supplies and food so that they can remain safe, secure, and healthy in their homes.

  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

  • If you or a loved one are sick, to keep from spreading respiratory illness to others, you should:

  • Stay home except to get medical care. More 

  • Call ahead before visiting your doctor

  • Cover your coughs and sneezes

  • Avoid sharing personal household items

  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

CHILDCARE & EDUCATION

CHILDCARE SUPPORT

State child care facilities are still in operation. New Mexico Expands child care eligibility (read full news release here) and guarantees payments for child care providers during the public health emergency. The state has a child care Resource and Referral line to help families find child care:

1-800-691-9067; www.NewMexicoKids.org 

​

Families can also contact their CYFD eligibility specialist via phone or email to let them know they now need full-time care; our team across the state will amend the contracts. In addition, all parents receiving child care assistance will have their copays waived during the public health emergency.  CYFD will issue full-time child care assistance contracts to first responders and health providers who need child care. Please call 1-833-551-0518 to connect with the state’s child care Resource and Referral line or online to download a child care assistance application. During the emergency health declaration, the state will temporarily register family, friend and neighbor (FFN) providers who may be eligible to receive child care assistance funding; interested parties can call 1-833-551-0518. 

​

The New Mexico Regional Education Cooperatives Association is working with the New Mexico Public Education Department and the New Mexico Early Childhood Education & Care Department to assist families in finding available Child care services while schools are operating in a remote or hybrid environment. Here is the link for the guide to help you apply and understand the process. Here is the list to see if your eligible. If you need other resources around childcare call 1-800-691-9067. For more information visit the website https://www.newmexicokids.org/home/

​

We are encouraging those who can help friends and families with childcare while parents are still having to work to do so.
