Quick Read
The country’s largest tribally operated health care system, Cherokee Nation Health Services, sees more than 100,000 people across 11 facilities throughout northeastern Oklahoma.
The Cherokee Nation’s public health department reported 171 pediatric COVID-19 cases for the week ending Saturday, nearly triple the number of pediatric cases recorded just two weeks previously.
5% of all COVID-19 cases seen at Cherokee Nation Health Services that week, up from 19.
In an email, a Cherokee Nation spokeswoman said Cherokee Nation Health Services and the public health department were attributing the sharp increase in cases to the start of school.
Those figures include doses administered through federal health care providers, such as Indian Health Services.
