COVID-19 in the County: Sustained Case Incidence and ED Visits Suggest Endemic Disease Pattern Going into High-Risk Cold/Flu Season

An average of 3-4 cases per day have been registered in the county throughout October so far compared to 1-2 cases per day during the later part of September. According to the NMDOH, 6.7% of all ED visits in county residents for the two weeks ending October 18 were for COVID-like illness, a percentage unchanged from the preceding two-week period ending October 11. See HERE  Both disease occurrence measures suggest a sustained burden from COVID-19 in the county which remains elevated compared to prior periods of lower burden. A similar temporal pattern in ED visits for COVID-19 illness is occurring statewide in New Mexico.
