NEAH BAY, Wash. (AP) — The remote Makah Indian reservation in northwest Washington is reinstating COVID-19 restrictions meant to limit the spread of the virus amid an outbreak there. The Peninsula Daily News reports the reservation returned to Phase 2 on Tuesday, barring all indoor gatherings and limiting outdoor gatherings to 10 people. Tribal Chairman TJ Greene says the changes stem from four positive COVID-19 cases confirmed between Monday and Tuesday, and a total of eight cases confirmed since July 23. He says the infections are believed to have come to the community from tribal members who traveled. The community only has one walk-in clinic and the nearest hospital is two hours away in Port Angeles.
