An average of 3 cases per day were reported for the week ending September 14, which represents a modest increase over the 2.4 daily cases reported the prior week ending September 7. The current level of transmission still remains about 2-3 fold higher than the average of one reported case per day during March-April 2022. According to the NMDOH, 1.8% of all ED visits for the two weeks ending September 13 were for COVID-like illness compared to 1.9% for the two-week period ending September 6. The lowered impacts of COVID-19 on emergency medical services is consistent with relatively lower transmission rates. COVID-like illness includes ED encounters with chief complaint consisting of fever and cough, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing, while also including COVID-19 associated discharge diagnoses codes.
