New Mexico students will be staying home for the rest of the school year.

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced the new order on Friday.

“Keeping schools closed is one of the most important tools we have to support the social distancing that can help us reduce and mitigate the spread of the virus,” the governor said in a written statement.

The governor said all schools will be required to find new ways to teach their students at home starting on April 6.

Grisham also ordered Friday that anyone traveling by air into New Mexico will be required to self-quarantine for 14 days immediately upon arrival. People will only be allowed to leave quarantine for medical care.
