The state Department of Health reported 200 new COVID-19 cases on Monday, the fewest in a single day in months. DOH also reported nine additional deaths related to the disease.
The last time the state had fewer than 200 reported cases in a single day was Oct. 5.
The low number of new cases on Monday did come with a lower-than-average number of new COVID-19 tests results compared to recent weeks.
DOH has now found 180,671 cases of COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic and reported 3,538 deaths related to the disease. Of the confirmed cases, 121,606 are designated as recovered by DOH.
DOH provided some information on each of the nine newly reported deaths Monday.
- A male in his 60s from Bernalillo County who was hospitalized and had underlying conditions.
- A male in his 80s from Chaves County who was hospitalized and had underlying conditions.
- A male in his 40s from Doña Ana County who was hospitalized and had underlying conditions.

- A female in her 70s from Sandoval County who was hospitalized and had underlying conditions.
- A male in his 70s from Santa Fe County who was hospitalized and had underlying conditions.
- A male in his 80s from Valencia County.
DOH does not disclose which underlying condition any of the deceased had, only if one was present before death.
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.
The New Mexico Environment Department’s Rapid Response COVID-19 Watchlist had 46 establishments as of Monday. 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 2,551,232 tests as of Monday, 7,887 more than reported on Sunday. The 200 positive cases on Monday represented 2.54 percent of the newly reported tests, though this calculation is not the same as the one used by the state for its gating criteria, since it counts all tests and not any potential duplicates.
DOH identified nine previously reported cases as duplicates (three in Chaves County, three in McKinley County, two in Santa Fe County and one in San Juan County). These have been corrected.
