![]() COVID-19 UPDATE for Saturday, January 16, 2021 |
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.

Because of a sharp increase in COVID-19 cases on the CRIT Reservation and in an abundance of caution, CRIT Chairman Dennis Patch is re-instating the previously approved "Stay at Home Order" also known as Resolution 54-20. These include:
The requirements of the Stay At Home Order are enforceable by issuance of civil citation with fines from $100 up to $1000 for intentional or repear violations. However, tribal enterprises and departments will rmain operational with current safety protocols, including continued compliance with the reservation wide Face Mask mandate. Indeed, the "Safer At Home Resolution" requires Chairman to reinstate the "Stay at Home Order" if there is an 8% or more bi-weekly change of Indian Health Services COVID-19 cases. There has been a 9.1% increase of cases reported as of December 23rd. Indian Health Services has reported 113 cases to date in December alone, which is more than the 100 cases reported August through November combined. Chairman Patch stated, "The health and safety of the people of CRIT must come first. We cannot take chances with this deadly pandemic. We must all do our part to keep COVID-19 from spreading and these measures are the best way to accomplish that. I realize this comes during the holidays. But it's better to take precautions now so that our family and loved ones will be with us for years to come. Many of our tribal member families are currently ill with COVID-19 and will be recuperating this Christmas and New Year holiday. Our thoughts and prayers are with each one of you for a quick recovery. We know we can turn the tide of ths surge in cases if everyone stays at home with immediate family only and avoids all non-essential activities and travel." PRESS RELEASES/NOTICES
