From February 3,  2023 post.

NMDOH reports the percentage of emergency department (ED) visits in county residents for COVID-like illness remained largely unchanged at 1.4% for the two-week period ending January 29. Statewide, the percentage of ED visits for COVID-like illness stands at about 2%, while ED visits for flu-like illness have declined sharply from a peak of 18% in December to about 4% currently. See HERE  These declining ED visit trends suggest that the winter wave of respiratory illness in New Mexico has passed. At the same time, the county ED visit data indicate that continual low level transmission of COVID-19 is occurring in residents, among whom some require emergency medical care for their COVID-19 symptoms.
