As COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to rise across the United States ahead of the holiday season, states are starting to reinstate curfews and coronavirus restrictions.
The University of New Mexico's basketball teams are temporarily moving to Lubbock and Amarillo, two counties with some of the highest rates of COVID-19 per 1,000 residents in Texas, because of possibly facing restrictive policies prohibiting team sports in New Mexico.
The men's team will temporarily be in Lubbock while the school determines where they will practice and play games. The women's team will play at West Texas A&M University.
As of Monday, New Mexico is currently under a two-week shutdown of nonessential businesses in an attempt to curb coronavirus spread.
