New Mexico sets new daily record for COVID-19 cases, deaths
The beyond-nightmarish COVID-19 numbers Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and state medical officials had warned about for weeks may be coming to fruition.
New Mexico experienced another coronavirus explosion Tuesday, setting a new high in cases, hospitalizations and deaths.
The state reported 2,112 virus cases, 28 deaths and 754 COVID-19 hospitalizations within a health care system officials have said is stretched to the breaking point.
Its previous high for cases in a single day was 1,752 on Thursday.
Overall, the state has reported 67,559 cases and 1,264 deaths since March.
