KWSO Calendar for Mon., Aug. 22, 2022

Everyone is encouraged to continue to take precautions to reduce the possible spread of COVID-19 in Warm Springs.  Continue to avoid crowded spaces especially indoors and consider wearing a facemask around large groups.  Facemasks are required in Tribal Buildings.  If you do a home test and it’s positive – please call the Health & Wellness Center right away to find out your options for treatments that can help.

Tribal employees and community members are encouraged to test routinely for COVID-19 using home test kits available at the Emergency Management office.  Because many COVID-19 cases have no or mild symptoms, testing weekly is one way to help prevent spreading the virus.
