From January 20, 2023 post.

NMDOH reports the percentage of emergency department (ED) visits in county residents for COVID-like illness remained stable at 1.4% for the two-week time period ending January 18. Statewide, the percentage of ED visits for COVID-like illness stands at about 3%, while ED visits for flu-like illness have declined sharply from a peak of 18% in December to about 5% currently. These declines suggest that the winter wave of respiratory illness in New Mexico may have passed, but there is no guarantee a second wave will not emerge. See HERE
