Please be reminded of the power of staying home which is a great way to stay safe, especially if you do it as a family. Traveling off-reservation to gatherings is very risky, even with masks, social distancing you run the chance of picking up the virus and bringing it home. The Warm Springs CoVID-19 Response team will be discussing the situation concerning the increase of positive cases. Those cases are being contact traced by our health team and are following instructions to stay home.

Although our neighbors are lessening safety measures on the Corona Virus-19 your Tribal Council wants our community to be safe by using face coverings-masks, social distancing, avoiding crowds, especially “Hot Spots” (places that may have a person with the virus) an enjoying the good weather while practicing safe measures for yourself, your family and our community.
