The Oneida Nation announced Wednesday it is extending its Public Health State of Emergency and Safer at Home Declaration through June 11.
The Oneida Nation currently has 14 cases of coronavirus. The Nation stated its commitment to "flattening the curve" in its announcement to extend its Safer at Home delaration.
Chairman Tehassi Hill announced Wednesday: “We are extending our Public Health State of Emergency Declaration and, in turn, our Updated Safer at Home Declaration to continue protecting the health of our community members. We still need to make decisions on when it is prudent to lift restrictions in a very calculated manner. We review our statistics daily and have increased our testing abilities. As such, we also anticipate the number of positive cases to increase – this is expected. We know our citizens have been patient and respectful of the restrictions of the Updated Safer at Home Declaration and we are grateful for the community’s continued cooperation.”
