Nov. 13, 2020 Community Hall Newsletter
Greetings Albuquerque,
This week, we observed Veterans Day differently than we normally would. Because of coronavirus, we were not able to gather at the memorial here in Albuquerque’s International District, but we did not let that stop us from honoring those who have made incredible sacrifices for our country. To all of the veterans and their families, thank you for your service.
With COVID-19 spiking unacceptably high and hospital capacity being stretched, we each need to make thoughtful, informed decisions for our families and our community. At the same time, the City is continuing our targeted enforcement effort all across Albuquerque.
This weekend, our cross-departmental team will focus on ensuring retailers are in compliance with our requirements to provide special hours to seniors and other high risk individuals and that stores must limit the purchase of certain items, so that all Albuquerque residents can access what they need.
No doubt, this is a challenging time for struggling local businesses, working families who don’t have the luxury of staying home, and vulnerable populations.
We are providing a safety net for our city and building resilience for the long haul. We can’t do it alone - we need everyone to step up and do their part.
Stay home anytime you can, wear a mask when you go out, and avoid gatherings.
In the spirit of One Albuquerque,
-Mayor Tim Keller
