SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - The New Mexico Department of Health is reporting 747 new confirmed coronavirus cases and 30 additional deaths Sunday.
That brings the total to around 138,000 documented cases and around 2,300 related deaths since the start of the pandemic.
Officials say around 750 people are hospitalized across New Mexico for COVID-19.
Around 60,500 people diagnosed with COVID-19 are considered to have recovered by the New Mexico Department of Health.
The number of infections is thought to be far higher because many people have not been tested, and studies suggest people can be infected with the virus without feeling sick.
For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some - especially older adults and people with existing health problems - it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia, and death.
