As of Wednesday, 41.6% of New Mexico s eligible residents had received both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. Once the state hits 60 percent, it will abandon its color-coded system, reopening completely welcome news for restaurants and other local businesses that have been hit hard during the pandemic.
But for now, area businesses are still struggling.
In a press release issued April 28, the Clovis/Curry County Chamber of Commerce reported many businesses and restaurants nationwide and locally are in desperate need of employees. “Without sufficient help, many of them are struggling to stay afloat and a number of local businesses have already closed permanently,” said Rachel Forrester, the Chamber s communications manager.
