As COVID-19 cases surge across Oregon a slew of new restrictions are being implemented in the state beginning Wednesday, as part of a two-week freeze in halting social activities. (11/18/20 – 12/2/20).

The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs COVID-19 Response Team has recommended at 50% reduction in the workforce, similar to what was done earlier in the year. More details are forthcoming.

The Museum at Warm Springs will be closed to the public for the 2 week period.

All Community Members are asked to limit trips off the reservation and if you do need to go out (work, store, medical appointments) use all preventative precautions (masks, social distance, hand sanitizer.)
