Officials have announced three presumptive positive COVID-19 cases in New Mexico, the first confirmed cases in the state.

Two of the cases are a husband and wife in Socorro County, both in their 60s, who had recently traveled to Egypt. The third case is a Bernalillo County woman in her 70s who had recently traveled to the New York City area. The three individuals are at their homes in isolation.

“The state Department of Health has been preparing for this day for weeks now,” said Gov. Lujan Grisham. “I will be announcing additional information and steps New Mexicans can and should take to protect themselves and our communities very, very shortly. In the meantime, I will reiterate that New Mexicans can take preventive actions to protect themselves and mitigate the potential spread. We will address this public health challenge together.”

Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and state health officials will be holding a news conference at 11 a.m. Mountain time.

1. Checking New Mexico media, megachurch pastor, Steve Smothermon,

is declaring the Governor's actions "ungodly" because she is not a person of "faith" and
is preventing people of "faith" from doing their "faith" thing. Does the governor's order
apply to churches or just a suggestion for them?

Along with not going to large gatherings.

The 'Gathering of Nations' pow-wow she postponed.
