Letter: Southeast NM could be used as a ‘testing area’

I would like to suggest that our mayor and other community leaders contact Gov. Lujan Grisham and propose that southeastern New Mexico (Chaves, Lea and Eddy counties) be used as a testing area for removing the coronavirus restrictions.

This area has not been as severely affected as other parts of the state and we have excellent medical facilities here.

If the reopening of commerce is successful here, it can be used as a model for the rest of the state.
