Epidemiology Reports
COVID-19 Epidemiology Reports
The New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH) is committed to providing New Mexico residents with the most current information regarding COVID-19 in the state. As part of the COVID-19 pandemic response, NMDOH collects and analyzes statewide data for COVID-19 positive cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. The reports below reflect these critical data and will be updated weekly.
Note: Ongoing efforts to improve the completeness and accuracy of the hospitalization data will result in week-to-week changes in the cumulative hospitalization counts. These changes are not affecting recent hospitalization data, but will affect the historical (i.e., cumulative) hospitalization baseline.
Daily Epidemiology Report
Numbers are posted Monday through Friday except on holidays.
Data Notes
Current hospitalizations are the number of hospital beds currently occupied by individuals with COVID-19.
Ventilated hospitalizations are the number of hospitalized individuals with COVID-19 who are using machines to help them breathe. This includes people in the Emergency Room who have been put on a breathing machine while waiting for a hospital bed.
New cases are the total number of people with COVID-19 that the state learned about yesterday, from 12 am to 11:59 pm. Results reported following a weekend or holiday include all new cases since the last update.
Cumulative case counts include all COVID-19 cases reported to the state from the start of the pandemic through the prior day. COVID-19 cases may sometimes be removed from the total count if they are found to be double-counted, live outside of New Mexico, or their test result is not confirmed. People with COVID-19 who are in prison at any federal or state facility in New Mexico are included.
On May 13, 2022, a death was reported in error and has been corrected as of May 17, 2022.
New deaths have not been reported before and are reported when death certificates are received and reviewed. The receipt and review process can take several days to weeks, so new reported deaths may include deaths from more than 30 days ago.
Cumulative deaths are the total number of people who have died from COVID-19 in New Mexico since the beginning of the pandemic.
New tests are the number of COVID-19 tests from a laboratory or medical facility that confirms current COVID-19 infection (molecular [PCR, NAAT] and antigen tests). All test results received by the state since the last update are counted. Results reported following a weekend or holiday include all new tests since the last update. All facilities in New Mexico and some out-of-state facilities that have tested New Mexico residents report results using secure connections (electronic or fax). Home-based test results are not included.
Extensive detail on some of these measures are included in the weekly epidemiology reports below.
