Yakama Nation says at least 6% of tribal members have had COVID-19

The Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation reported Wednesday that 683 people have tested positive for the new coronavirus through Indian Health Services.

That’s a jump of 25 new cases from Friday, and more than 100 new cases since July 3.

The numbers reflect testing for those who are eligible for Indian Health Services and are not a comprehensive indicator of the virus’s impact on Indian Country.
