Operative words
1. I direct that all persons who have arrived in New Mexico from a location outside of the State must self-isolate or self-quarantine for a period of at least 14 days from the date of their entry into the State of New Mexico or for the duration of their presence in the State, whichever is shorter. 2.... Any person who is self-isolating or self-quarantining may only leave a residence or place of lodging to receive medical care... 3. This Order's direction to self-quarantine does not apply to persons employed by airlines, those performing public safety or public health functions, military personnel, federal employees, those employed by a federal agency or national defense contractor, emergency first responders, health care workers, those arriving in the State pursuant to a Court order, and persons who are employed or contracted by an 'essential business'... who are traveling into New Mexico to conduct business activities.
Enforcement
Involuntary isolation or quarantine by DOH under the Public Health Emergency Response Act; temporary holds, court orders, civil and criminal penalties under the PHERA and Public Health Act (paras. 6-8 in the amended orders)
