The
Hoopa Valley Tribal Office of Emergency Services is deciding to
maintain the reservation closure. In detail, nonresidents and
tourists visiting the Hoopa Valley reservation are not permitted. We
are also not allowing people outside the reservation river access nor
access to Tribal Property during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Per Title 72,
people or non-residents can be cited and escorted off the
reservation. However, the Hoopa Valley Tribal OES plans to
continually assess the COVID pandemic situation and make moves
towards reopening once appropriate. Specifically, we are developing
an opening schedule to fit our population’s needs and intend to
adjust as needed.
According
to the CDC website, there is currently no vaccine for the coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID-19) and it is primarily spread from
person-to-person. Additionally, the best way to prevent illness is to
avoid being exposed to the virus. The COVID-19 virus is thought to
spread from between people who are in close contact with one another
and potentially by people who are not showing any symptoms. With this
in mind, we are continuing to take the COVID-19 pandemic seriously
and are requiring people to wear face masks in enclosed areas or when
social distancing of six feet cannot be maintained.
If
anyone has questions, please feel free to reach out through the Hoopa
Valley Tribal COVID-19 Hotline at 530-625-8100, visiting the OES
website at hoopaOES.com, or email us at questions@hoopaoes.com.
