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.

Every home in the U.S. is eligible to order a 3^rd round of free at-home COVID-19 test kits.  You can order online at https://www.covid.gov/tests or call 1-800-232-0233.  Locally – you can pick up a home test kit for COVID-19 at Emergency Management next to the old elementary school – during the work day.  Evenings and weekends you can get test kits at Fire & Safety on campus and in Simnasho.
