Albuquerque (NM) Journal (7/5, Gallagher) reports New Mexico Health Secretary Kathy Kunkel on June 19 prohibited “day visits for people on the state’s Developmental Disability Waiver program and prohibited visits by parents and guardians to group homes” because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The article says, “Disability rights advocate and lawyer Peter Cubra of Albuquerque contends the blanket prohibition on visits discriminates against those with developmental disabilities,” causing “irreparable harm.”.
