Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Tuesday announced New Mexicans may now order free, at-home, self-administered COVID-19 saliva tests, with accurate laboratory-confirmed results returned within 24-48 hours of receipt of the sample.
The free tests are available to New Mexico residents regardless of exposure risk– whether they are symptomatic or asymptomatic, and whether they have come into close contact with a confirmed COVID-19 positive individual or not.
Any New Mexican with access to online video-conferencing through Zoom can receive a test at home, self-administer the test with a virtual testing supervisor through a secure Zoom, and mail the sample back for laboratory processing, all free of charge.
|
The breakthrough in testing convenience for New Mexicans is a result of a public-private partnership between the state and Vault Health.

The Strategic Plan is the county’s 2-year plan that captures what departments are doing to support the strategic plan goals…each with key focus areas from planning for emergencies to expanding online services. The county follows the performance process across the 2-years to ensure we are measuring what matters and making that data available to the community.

It is our goal to make sure we are doing the right things to meet the needs of the community. With that in mind, we’ve created a short survey to collect valuable feedback from residents. If you’d like to provide feedback about the strategic plan complete this survey.

 The Bernalillo County Arts Board solicits a call for artists to propose conceptual sketch ideas for outdoor sculpture to be located along highly visible avenues and boulevards within Bernalillo County, New Mexico.
Regional artists residing in New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah, Arizona, Colorado and Texas are invited to propose conceptual mid-size sculptures. The call for art opened Dec. 1, 2020. The deadline is Jan. 29, 2021.
|
The project, aptly named “Outposts,” is conceived by the Bernalillo County Arts Board and evolved from an idea of combining the duality of the communities of Bernalillo County and the Southwestern region to include the co-existence of mountains and the valley, the urban and the rural communities, the monsoon season and the dry season and the ancient and modern cultures of the area.
The artworks for Phase II will be installed near highly visited tourist and local attractions within Bernalillo County and the city of Albuquerque, such as the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta Park and the Rio Grande Valley State Park. Read More....
