New Mexico health officials reported 308 new positive test results for COVID-19 over the weekend, bringing the total caseload thus far to 10,565. The state had 172 new cases on Saturday and 136 on Sunday.
Of those new cases, 105 were among people held in either federal or state custody at the Otero County Prison facility. Specifically, 96 were New Mexico Department of Corrections inmates and nine were federal. As of today, that prison now has a total of 687 cases.
McKinley County had 60 new cases, 30 reported each day,
As of today, 134 people are hospitalized and the health department has designated 4,684 cases are recovered. In a briefing with news media on Friday, Health and Human Services Secretary David Scrase discussed the state's criteria for recovered cases, noting that cases are only certified as recovered for people who remain in contact with health officials. The "biggest gap between total cases and recovered cases is not the people in the hospital; it's people who didn't complete the follow-up," he said.
Santa Fe County, which had nine new cases over the weekend—five on Saturday and four on Sunday—now has had a total of 196 cases, 113 of which have been designated as recovered.
The state also announced five more deaths, two on Saturday and three on Sunday. Four of those deaths were in McKinley County and one was in San Juan County. New Mexico has now had 469 fatalities.
