In an update on April 13, 2020, Governor Max Zuni of the Pueblo of Isleta confirmed a second COVID-19 case within the New Mexico-based tribe.

According to Zuni, the second person is from the same household as the first COVID-19 case on the reservation. Both have since recovered from the disease, he said.

“Their primary care provider has been monitoring their symptoms and they have followed all instructions in effort to prevent the virus from spreading further,” Zuni wrote in the update.

In separate post on April 13, the tribe announced a food distribution to children in the community.

Located in Bernalillo County, Isleta is about 13 miles south of Albuquerque, the most populous city in New Mexico. About 2,300 tribal people live on the reservation, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
