Ohkay Owingeh confirmed the first COVID-19 case within the community on April 3, 2020.

According to a memo from the tribal administration, a person who is a client of New Moon Lodge, a rehabilitation and treatment center on the reservation in northern New Mexico, tested positive for the coronavirus.

“Ohkay does have community members that work there and thus we all have risk exposure,” the memo stated.

Community members who may have been exposed will be put on “lockdown” and the tribe will step up law enforcement patrols, the administration said.
