Rural Colfax County can t escape the COVID-19 surge

Copyright © 2020 Albuquerque Journal Confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been on the rise in nearly every part of New Mexico in recent weeks, including rural areas that saw few cases during the pandemic’s initial waves. That includes Colfax County, near the northeast corner of the state, where cases have skyrocketed by 600% in the course of a month to a total of more than 350. The county initially averaged only a handful of cases for most of the pandemic, but cases have ballooned as the nation endures its worst stretch of COVID-19 infections so far. ...................... Part of that increase comes from cases that have popped up in Springer Correctional Center and in nursing homes in the county seat of Raton, but those account for only a portion of the county’s total caseload.
