The Warm Springs Covid-19 Response Team has
updated the case demographics for the reservation and

On that date there were 22 active cases among the
community. Three people were hospitalized with covid,
and one person had died from the illness. Total
breakthrough cases—positive tests among people who
are fully vaccinated—was 41 (note: breakthrough
cases demonstrate the vaccination is effective,
because these cases are much less likely to result in
serious illness, hospitlization and death). See page 7
