"We are working diligently to prevent having cases here, but we also want to be realistic that when you have an infectious disease of this nature, this virus, and it's in neighboring states, the likelihood is that all states in the country will be affected in some way."

The New Mexico Department of Health said they have monitored 30 people over the course a few months. New Mexico Department of Health officials told KOB 4 those people “self-quarantined for the designated time.” It’s unclear how many are still being monitored.

The governor said she doesn't want people to panic.

"I'm certainly not in a state of panic," Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said. "No one else in the state is behaving in that way."

Instead of panicking, the governor said people should take precautions to stay healthy.

"Wash your hands, which is the most effective way to prevent the spread of this virus and any other infectious disease," the governor said. "If you are sick, stay home. That is really critical that folks do that."
