The state Department of Health reported 185 new cases of COVID-19 on Monday and just one additional death from the virus, continuing a downward trend that started in January.
That brings the total number of reported cases in New Mexico to 188,488 and the total number of reported deaths to 3,853.
A little over a third – 68 – of Monday’s cases were reported in Bernalillo County.
Doña Ana County reported 30 new cases, Sandoval County reported 19 new cases and Otero County reported 12. The remaining counties reported fewer than 10 cases each.
The death was a man in his 70s from Roosevelt County. He had been hospitalized, but the DOH did not say he had underlying conditions.
The state reported that 126 people are hospitalized with COVID-19. That figure includes people from other states who are hospitalized in New Mexico and does not include New Mexicans who were transferred to out-of-state hospitals.
The DOH has designated 167,659 COVID-19 cases as having recovered.
