Of those, 1,313 have contracted COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. The figure represents an increase of 8.3 percent from the <a href=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/covid19\/?p=2887\">1,212 cases previously reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The data continues to show gradual growth in testing in some regions of the IHS. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ihs.gov\/phoenix\/\">Phoenix Area<\/a> in particular has seen an increase of nearly 28 percent in tests administered. As a result, the number of positive cases in the region, which serves patients in Arizona, Nevada and Utah, grew by 54 percent.<\/p>\n<p>With the update, the IHS maintains a slightly different reporting method. Results are now &nbsp;based on an 11:59pm cutoff, rather than 7pm from prior reports.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Data is reported from IHS, tribal, and urban Indian organization facilities, though reporting by tribal and urban programs is voluntary,&#8221; the agency states on the website.<\/p>\n<table class=\"table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>IHS Area<\/th>\n<th>Tested<\/th>\n<th>Positive<\/th>\n<th>Negative<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Alaska<\/td>\n<td>1,188<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>531<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Albuquerque<\/td>\n<td>1,479<\/td>\n<td>195<\/td>\n<td>753<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bemidji<\/td>\n<td>142<\/td>\n<td>17<\/td>\n<td>112<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Billings<\/td>\n<td>1,793<\/td>\n<td>18<\/td>\n<td>1,596<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>California<\/td>\n<td>621<\/td>\n<td>43<\/td>\n<td>496<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Great Plains<\/td>\n<td>312<\/td>\n<td>22<\/td>\n<td>257<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Nashville<\/td>\n<td>773<\/td>\n<td>26<\/td>\n<td>446<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Navajo<\/td>\n<td>4,103<\/td>\n<td>728<\/td>\n<td>2,802<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Oklahoma City<\/td>\n<td>2,156<\/td>\n<td>77<\/td>\n<td>1,665<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Phoenix<\/td>\n<td>625<\/td>\n<td>105<\/td>\n<td>442<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Portland<\/td>\n<td>690<\/td>\n<td>65<\/td>\n<td>565<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tucson<\/td>\n<td>524<\/td>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<td>423<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>TOTAL<\/th>\n<th>14,406<\/th>\n<th>1,313<\/th>\n<th>10,088<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>IHS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ihs.gov\/coronavirus\/\">https:\/\/www.ihs.gov\/coronavirus\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Indian Health Service has updated its coronavirus testing data, showing 1,313 COVID-19 cases as of April 15, 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[14],"class_list":["post-2981","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-institutions","tag-ihs"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/indianz.com\/covid19\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/indianz.com\/covid19\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/indianz.com\/covid19\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/indianz.com\/covid19\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/indianz.com\/covid19\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2981"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/indianz.com\/covid19\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2981\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2989,"href":"https:\/\/indianz.com\/covid19\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2981\/revisions\/2989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/indianz.com\/covid19\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/indianz.com\/covid19\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/indianz.com\/covid19\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
