Abstract
Executive Summary:
Cumulatively: 624 coronavirus cases and 12 deaths in New Mexico. State to receive $1B in federal relief. Animals can be infected with coronavirus – individuals with COVID-19 should minimize contact with pets. CDC recommends everyone wear cloth face coverings in public, releases guidelines for pharmacies, and updates guidance on N95 respirator conservation. Repeat COVID-19 testing may be required for accurate incidence estimates. FDA-approved antiparasitic drug, Ivermectin, may kill the virus within 48 hours. Hydroxychloroquine evidence remains inconclusive. New drug targets identified for SARS-CoV-2.
