Short answer
Yes. New Mexico is part of the Four Corners region where CDC says U.S. Hantavirus surveillance began after a 1993 outbreak.
What it means
CDC’s public case page describes the Four Corners region as Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. It also provides state-level U.S. Hantavirus case reporting.
What to know
Historical reporting does not mean every person in New Mexico has the same risk. Risk is tied to rodent exposure and specific settings.
When to check official guidance
Check CDC case data and New Mexico public health sources for the most specific local context.
