From February 3,  2023 post.

For the week ending February 1, the CDC Community Level remained at LOW for Los Alamos County, as it did for the three other counties (Taos, Rio Arriba, Santa Fe) which collectively comprise the regional Health Services Area (HSA) over which CDC hospitalization metrics are calculated. Total reported cases in the county have remained well under 10 for the past four weeks, however case reporting is known to be incomplete due to the high prevalence use of at-home testing. Reported case incidence rates in all four counties comprising the HSA remain stable and well below CDC threshold criteria.  The four-county HSA hospitalization rate increased slightly over the past two weeks from 3.7 to 4.1 new admissions per 100,000. NMDOH reported one new hospital admission for COVID-19 in a county resident for the week ending January 29. CDC reported one COVID-19 death in a county resident for the week ending February 1.
