New Mexico Results [ continued ]
Deaths from COVID-19 : In New Mexico , the number of observed cumulative deaths was higher than expected in only one county and lower than expected in four counties ( Figure 8 ). It is likely that adjustment for age and / or race would modify these results . However , age and race distributions for COVID-19 deaths are not publicly available in New Mexico . As shown in Table 5 , the unadjusted SMR for San Juan County is 3.62 ( 95 % CI 3.12 , 4.12 ). The unadjusted SMRs for Eddy , Lea , Rio Arriba , and Sandoval counties are 0.63 ( 95 % CI 0.32 , 0.94 ), 0.91 ( 95 % CI 0.57 , 1.24 ), 0.82 ( 95 % CI 0.39 , 1.25 ), and 0.68 ( 95 % CI 0.48 , 0.88 ).
