Ohkay Owingeh is reporting promising developments in the fight against the coronavirus in northern New Mexico.<\/p>\n

Of the 174 citizens who were tested for COVID-19, none are positive, the tribe said in an update on April 20, 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The large-scale testing was conducted in coordination with the New Mexico Department of Health. Though the effort largely focused on first responders and health professionals, it accounted for nearly 10-12 percent of the tribal population on the reservation.<\/p>\n

A tribal citizen who lives off the in Albuquerque<\/a> did test positive but has recovered. The person had recently been at Ohkay but no positives in connection with the case have been recorded, the tribe said on April 7.<\/p>\n

There was one other positive case connected to Ohkay<\/a> — the person was a client of the treatment center on the reservation. All tests among staff and other clients returned negative, the tribe said.<\/p>\n

Ohkay Owingeh is located in Rio Arriba County. Despite being home to a large city of more than 10,000 people, the county has recorded just 11 cases as of April 21, according to the New Mexico Department of Health<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Overall, however, tribal citizens in New Mexico are being disproportionately impacted by the coronavirus<\/a>. According to the state, more than 41 percent of COVID-19 cases are of American Indians and Alaska Natives even though they only account for 9.5 percent of the overall population.<\/p>\n
