NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – At least 28 New Mexico schools have reached the 5% COVID-19 infection rate meaning enhanced COVID-safe measures. The biggest change is not allowing spectators at school events including sporting events and on that list are quite a few high schools. Albuquerque Public Schools says many APS schools are approaching that 5%.
