New Mexico health officials reported 1,339 new COVID-19 cases over the weekend. However, a news release from the governor's office said Saturday's case numbers—592 of them—were incomplete "due to a technical disruption of the electronic laboratory reporting system." On Sunday, officials reported 747 cases.
Bernalillo County had 411 new cases over the weekend, followed by Doña Ana County with 238. Chaves County had 76 new cases, while Santa Fe County had 66: 33 new cases on each day. The state also reported 71 new cases among inmates over the weekend, 63 of which were among New Mexico Corrections Department inmates at New Mexico Correctional Facility in Valencia County.
The state also announced 19 more deaths, 11 on Saturday and eight on Sunday. There have now been 1,026 fatalities. As the state surpassed 1,000 deaths on Friday, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced state flags will fly at half-staff this week, beginning tomorrow through sundown on Friday.
"One thousand New Mexican lives lost is an unfathomable tragedy," Lujan Grisham said in a statement. "For many months now, the daily drumbeat of a few more deaths, a few more deaths has served to diminish the acute feeling of loss. But it is tragic and real for me, every single day, because it is tragic and real for the New Mexican families with an empty seat at the table, a hole in their hearts that will never be filled. I pray for these families every single day. I ask you to please join me in praying for them—and acting to prevent any more needless loss."
As of today, 365 people are hospitalized with COVID-19, 78 more than a week ago.* According to a news release, 77% of general beds and 65% of ICU beds at New Mexico hospitals are currently occupied.
