DOH: Over 2,700 new COVID cases, 39 additional deaths over the weekend

The state Department of Health reported 2,715 new cases of COVID-19 this weekend, along with 39 additional deaths related to the disease.

DOH reported 1,507 new cases and 22 additional deaths on Saturday and 1,208 new cases and 17 additional deaths on Sunday.

On Sunday, the department reported 682 individuals were hospitalized for COVID-19, a decrease of 21 people since Friday. This could include those from other states who are hospitalized in New Mexico, but would not include New Mexicans who are hospitalized out of state.

DOH has now found 156,157 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and reported 2,749 deaths related to the disease.

Of the confirmed cases, 77,731 were designated as recovered by the department as of Sunday, an increase of 1,848 since Friday.

The New Mexico Environment Department’s Rapid Response COVID-19 Watchlist had 95 establishments as of Sunday, seven more than were listed on Friday. These workplaces had two or more COVID-19 rapid responses in the last 14 days.

Testing details

The state coronavirus information page says the state has processed 2,093,575 tests as of Sunday, 31,590 more than reported on Friday.

The new positive cases represented 8.59 percent of the tests reported this weekend. 

DOH reported the total number of cases by county, including those reported on Sunday.
