Let's Talk About Reopening

  Let’s Talk New Mexico 7/1 8am:Most of our state’s COVID-related restrictions are set to lift on Thursday, July 1st, and many New Mexicans will be celebrating. However, the pandemic is not over yet. 31% of New Mexico's population still hasn't been fully vaccinated, and the WHO recently released a statement urging continued use of masks, even for fully vaccinated folks, in order to protect from the Delta variant.

On this week’s Let’s Talk New Mexico, we’re discussing what reopening means for our state. And we want to hear from you! Are you excited to see these restrictions being lifted? Or do you have concerns that it might be too much too soon? Email us at LetsTalk@KUNM.org, or call in live during the show on 89.9 KUNM.
