Good grief. And I thought Inslee and Whitler were tin pot dictators.
ZitatInvoking the state’s Riot Control Act on Friday, New Mexico [Democrat] Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham essentially locked down the city of Gallup.
All roads into Gallup were closed at 12 p.m. on Friday “to mitigate the uninhibited spread of COVID-19 in that city.”
“Vehicles may only have a maximum of two individuals. Residents of the city should remain at home except for emergency outings and those essential for health, safety and welfare,” a media release from the Democratic governor’s office read.
The city of 22,000 people, located 100 miles west of Albuquerque, has been hit hard by the coronavirus, CBS News reported.
As of Saturday morning, 1,064 of the 3,513 total confirmed cases of COVID-19 in New Mexico were in McKinley County, where Gallup is located, according to the data from Johns Hopkins.
“The virus is running amok there. It must be stopped, and stricter measures are necessary,” Lujan Grisham said.
