The CRIT Tribal Council has voted to enact a Safer At Home Resolution which eases some but not all of the restric- tions resulting from COVID-19. The prior more restrictive Stay At Home Resolution has been in place since April 1st. The new measures are considered Phase Two of the effort to combat the Coronavirus. This is being done as the number of new COVID-19 cases has been gradually decreas- ing. Indeed, the Colorado River Indian Tribes community has seen only 15 new cases reported between August 1st and 23rd. The Tribal Council has determined an exten- sion of the current restrictions is not required but certain measures must remain in place to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Tribal Council Chairman Dennis Patch stated, "We are grateful COVID-19 numbers have eased. That is why we are easing some restric- tions. However it would be premature to say the danger has passed. That's why some mea- sures must remain in place. This is a common sense approach that keeps our community safe and our local economy strong under very trying circumstances." The Tribal Council is still urging the com- munity to shelter in place if possible, especially those with underlying health conditions. And CRIT's prior face mask rules for public settings are still in place. However some restrictions can now be eased. The new Safer at Home Resolution goes into effect on September 1st and will remain in ef- fect until at least September 30th. Whether or not the restrictions will remain after September 30th largely depends on the continued down- ward trend in new cases. Seasonal residents who reside in any of the Mobile Home, RV Parks, housing developments or have a homesite lease on the reservation can access their residences after September 8th. That applies just to members of the immediate household of the lessee. Indoor gatherings must be limited to 10 peo- ple and outdoor gatherings are limited to 25. Bars, movies theaters, gyms, museums, sta- dium sport events, day camps (excluding child care) and concerts shall remain closed but in- door dining at restaurants may be permitted at no more than 50% capacity and a plan must be submitted for Tribal Council approval detailing health and safety standards. Churches must submit a health and safety plan before they can reopen as well. Schools can open for hybrid in person/virtual learning provided state benchmarks for moder- ate or minimal transmission are met for two weeks prior to beginning in person learning and a health and safety plan is submitted to the Tribal Council. Large venues, such as the Blue Water Resort and Casino shall remain closed unless they submit a plan for Tribal Council approval de- tailing a plan to maintain CDC OSHA and CRIT standards. They must also provide details of infection prevention measures such as the use of face masks, and engineering and administra- tive controls for social distancing and reduced occupancy requirements, among other steps. A reservation wide curfew will remain in ef- fect for all individuals from 10pm to 5am with the exception of travel for essential work or medical care. We knew we could get you to read this ad!
