The Chairman of the Hopi Tribe has extended a stay at home order for all Hopi residents through August 30.

Tribal government employees except essential staff will continue to telework through that time. As of yesterday 358 Hopi tribal members had tested positive for COVID-19. About a third of those cases occurred within the month of July and most of those were concentrated in three villages. The stay at home order has been in place since March.
