Please keep checking the Lac Courte Oreilles website and the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians Facebook page for updates on COVID-19 and changes in tribal services and functions.
As of this writing the numbers are:Īs a Tribal Government, it is important that we continue to provide services to our tribal communities. Many of you already understand the HIPAA law, which is a federal law that protects health information and ensures privacy for all patients. We currently know of five (5) cases within our Tribal Membership, of which our health officials are continuing to monitor.
With the rise in COVID-19, or coronavirus cases in Sawyer County, it is inevitable that cases would reach our Lac Courte Oreilles Reservation.
On behalf of the Tribal Governing Board, I sincerely hope everyone is healthy and stays healthy during these very trying times.
