State health officials reported Tuesday 110 new cases of COVID-19 and three related deaths. The state has now recorded a total of 27,790 cases of the disease and 854 deaths since the pandemic began in March.
Three counties reported double-digit increases in new cases. Bernalillo County reported 21 new cases, Doña Ana County reported 18 new cases and Eddy County reported 14 new cases.
The state Department of Health provided a few details about each of the three deaths:
- A female in her 70s from Bernalillo County who had underlying conditions.
- A male in his 90s from Eddy County.
- A male in his 90s from Santa Fe County who was a resident of the Las Palomas Center facility in Albuquerque.
DOH did not disclose which underlying condition any person had, because of privacy issues, only if one was present.
There are currently 69 individuals hospitalized with COVID-19, a decrease of two individuals since Monday. This could include those from out of state who are hospitalized in New Mexico, but would not include New Mexicans who are hospitalized for COVID-19 out of state.
DOH has now designated 15,586 COVID-19 cases as recovered.
