Bernalillo County had 125 new cases and was the only county that had more than 100 new cases. Only two counties had more than 50 new cases: Doña Ana County (74) and San Juan County (78). 

DOH has confirmed a total of 137,226 cases of the disease since the beginning of the pandemic and a total of 2,316 deaths. 

DOH provided some information on each of the nine newly reported deaths:

  • A female in her 70s from Bernalillo County who was a resident of the Tercer Cielo facility in Albuquerque.
  • A female in her 80s from Bernalillo County who was a resident of the Casa Sandia facility in Albuquerque.
  • A male in his 80s from Bernalillo County who was hospitalized.
  • A second male in his 80s from Bernalillo County who had underlying conditions and was a resident of the Casa Sandia facility in Albuquerque.
  • A female in her 90s from Bernalillo County who was a resident of the Care Free Assisted Living facility in Albuquerque.
  • A second female in her 90s from Bernalillo County who was hospitalized, had underlying conditions who was a resident of the Montebello on Academy facility in Albuquerque.

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.

As of Saturday, 749 individuals were hospitalized with COVID-19, a decrease of 25 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.
