COVID-19 UPDATE for Monday, July 13, 2020 |  

 

The Colorado River Indian Tribes are committed to combating the spread of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on the Colorado River Indian Reservation.  Extensive efforts have been made in an attempt to slow the spread of this rapidly growing disease.  The Tribal Council has diligently contemplated all enacted actions and continues to develop future protocol in an attempt to restrict access to our community from recreational visitors and impose action necessary to keep people in their homes.  The following are links to the stay at home orders issued by the Colorado River Indian Tribes, AZ, CA and NV.  We direct you to follow the respective orders of your current place of residence and STAY AT HOME except for essential needs as described in these orders.  Do not come to the Colorado River Indian Reservation to visit your seasonal residence or for purposes of recreation while these stay at home orders are in effect.  We must all do our part to slow the spread of this rapidly spreading disease.  Thank you and be safe.
