On Saturday, the state Department of Health announced 213 additional COVID-19 cases, over a third of which came from Bernalillo County.
Additionally, the state announced four additional deaths related to the disease.
Of the 213 cases, 86 were reported out of Bernalillo County, the state’s most populous county. The next-highest was 22 in Chaves County, matching that county’s single-day high in reported cases, which happened on August 9. Other states with double-digit numbers of cases were Doña Ana County, with 13, Curry County with 13, Lea County with 13, Santa Fe County with 11 and San Juan County with 10.
The four newly reported deaths were each among residents of different counties, three in southern areas of the state.
- A female in her 80s from Doña Ana County who was hospitalized and had underlying conditions.
- A male in his 40s from Guadalupe County who was hospitalized and had underlying conditions.
- A male in his 80s from Hidalgo County who was hospitalized and had underlying conditions.
- A female in her 70s from Lea County who was hospitalized and had underlying conditions.
DOH, as usual, did not disclose which underlying condition any of the deceased had, only if one was present before death.
The state now has found 24,302 cases of COVID-19 and 743 deaths related to the disease.
The department also said that 68 people are hospitalized for COVID-19, an increase of three people since Friday. This could include those from out of state who tested positive and are now hospitalized in New Mexico, but would not include New Mexico residents who are hospitalized out of state.
DOH also said that 11,458 people are now considered recovered, an increase of 146 over Friday’s announced total.
