On Monday, the department reported 935 individuals were hospitalized for COVID-19, an increase of 16 people since Sunday. 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.

Bernalillo County had the most newly reported cases, with 639. Four other counties had 100 or more newly reported cases: Doña Ana County (191), Sandoval County (134), McKinley County (121) and San Juan County (119). In all, 31 of the 33 counties in the state reported one or more new cases.

DOH also reported 26 new cases among those being held by federal agencies at the Cibola County Correctional Center and eight new cases among inmates held by the state Department of Corrections at three facilities.

The most common underlying condition for those who died with COVID-19 was hypertension, followed by diabetes and cardiovascular disease, according to the most recently available mortality update. Some of those who died had multiple comorbidities.

DOH has now found 109,947 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and reported 1,756 deaths related to the disease.

Of the confirmed cases, 38,131 are designated as recovered by the department, an increase of 1,090 since Sunday.
