Grant County (Stacker.com)
As the newest and more transmissible variant of Omicron surges across the state, Grant County has has risen as the county with the highest number of infections.
According to a report by Stacker, the county had 511 new cases per 100k in the past week (138 new cases, +4% change from previous week).
Sandoval County, home of Rio Rancho, Corrales, Placitas and Bernalillo, was ranked 14th, while Bernalillo County, which has Albuquerque, was at 17.
As of July 21, New Mexico had a total of 582,000 cases, with 1,174 new cases, according to The New York Times. The state reached 8,140 deaths, up 22 from the day before.
In Sandoval County, 464 people have died from the virus.
The state has no plans to implement new mandates, instead relying on residents to take whatever actions they feel necessary to fight the virus, although in many places now masks are required and vaccinations are urged as the front-line defense.
The vaccine deployment in December 2020 signaled a turning point in the COVID-19 pandemic, Stacker said.
By the end of May 2021, 40% of the U.S. population was fully vaccinated. But as vaccination rates lagged over the summer, new surges of COVID-19 came, including Delta in the summer of 2021, and now the Omicron variant, which comprises the majority of cases in the U.S.
Researchers around the world have reported that Omicron is more transmissible than Delta, making breakthrough and repeat infections more likely.
The United States as of Jul. 20 reached over 1 million COVID-19-related deaths and 89.9 million COVID-19 cases, according to Johns Hopkins University. Currently, 67.1% of the population is fully vaccinated, and 48.1% of vaccinated people have received booster doses.
Stacker compiled a list of the counties with highest COVID-19 infection rates in New Mexico using data from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and vaccination data from Covid Act Now. Counties are ranked by the highest infection rate per 100,000 residents within the week leading up to Jul. 19, 2022. Cumulative cases per 100,000 served as a tiebreaker.
