New Mexico now has at least 2,726 coronavirus cases with 99 known dead, health officials said Sunday.

Due to a technical lapse, reporting results from some labs to the state Department of Health have been delayed and will be included in the state’s reporting Monday or as soon as they are received and lab-confirmed.

Health officials said there were 66 more positive tests since Saturday and six additional deaths.

They said three of the deaths were in McKinley County, two in San Juan County and one in Sandoval County.

McKinley County has 720 COVID-19 cases while Bernalillo County, the state’s most populous, has 688 cases.

The Department of Health also has identified positive coronavirus cases in residents and-or staff at 12 congregate living and acute care facilities including four each in Albuquerque and Farmington.

The other facilities are located in Santa Fe, Aztec, Gallup and Rio Rancho.
