SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - New Mexico health officials have reported an additional 203 coronavirus cases but no more known deaths as of Sunday.
That puts the statewide total of confirmed COVID-19 infections at 13,256 with the death toll remaining at 513.
The New Mexico Department of Health had reported 291 more cases Saturday and two more known deaths, both out of McKinley County.
The state’s most populous county, Bernalillo, led all others with 65 of the additional cases reported for the day. In southern New Mexico, Doña Ana County reported an additional 38 cases.
Health officials said there are 119 individuals hospitalized in New Mexico for COVID-19. That number may include individuals who tested positive for COVID-19 out of state, but are currently hospitalized in New Mexico.
For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks.
But for some - especially older adults and people with existing health problems - it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia, and death.
