• Added total tested per day per 100,000 to the "NM Tested Per Day" chart.

"New York City today has reported 3,778 additional deaths that have occurred since March 11 and have been classified as "probable," defined as follows: “decedent [...] had no known positive laboratory test for SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) but the death certificate lists as a cause of death “COVID-19” or an equivalent" [source]. We will add these to the New York State total as soon as it is determined whether the historical distribution can be obtained."

• The NMDoH did not release age or gender data with this update; added "NMDoH last data update: 3/26" to both demographic chart legends. 

3/27/2020

• Added "This % is not the mortality/case fatality rate" to the  % dead by reported cases to clarify the difficulties in  determining the actual total number of cases  and adjusting this incoming rate with the subsequent period between either death or recovery. https://smw.ch/article/doi/smw.2020.20203 

• The NMDoH did not release age or gender data with the update. 

• Adjusted the per cases table from 100,000 to 10,000 and added Taos County. 

3/26/2020
