Operative words

Beginning November 19, 2020, I DIRECT as follows:... (3) All businesses and non-profit entities, except those entities defined as 'essential businesses,' must reduce the in-person workforce at each business or business location by 100%.... (4) 'Food and drink establishments' may not provide any indoor or outdoor dine-in service... (5) Notwithstanding paragraph (3), all businesses may conduct business operations through telecommuting or otherwise working remotely if employees do not interact with clients or customers in person. Further, businesses that are not identified as 'essential businesses' may operate to the minimum extent necessary to provide curbside pickup and/or delivery of goods... Animal grooming services cannot operate under any circumstances. (8) All outdoor recreational facilities must close.... (10) All indoor malls must close

Enforcement

As NM-039

Notes

Governor's Nov. 18 release: 'retail space' redefined so that stores not deriving more than one-third of revenue from food and listed consumables (e.g., Hobby Lobby, Ross) 'may not operate in-person services'.
