According to the data, 57,252 tests have been administered within the IHS system. Of those, 5,467 have returned positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. That represents a 4 percent increase from the 5,255 cases previously reported.
Overall, testing increased by nearly 2.3 percent between May 9 and May 10, the data shows. It grew by 1.4 percent between May 8 and May 9.
