Health and Safety Precautions

Face Masks

In accordance with the current New Mexico public health order, masks are optional while on CNM campuses. Though masks are not required, we encourage students, staff, faculty, and visitors to wear a face mask if they are comfortable doing so. 

Cleanliness

You can help yourself and your loved ones stay healthy by washing your hands often. Washing hands with soap and water is the best way to get rid of germs in most situations. If soap and water are not readily available, you can use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Read more about CDC guidance on handwashing. 

Clean surfaces regularly to reduce the risk of germs spread by touching surfaces. Read more about CDC guidance on cleaning.
