Our Nation > Community > COVID-19

The Chickasaw Nation and the Oklahoma State Department of Health are continuing to monitor the coronavirus, or COVID-19, which is still impacting countries around the world. We are working alongside our partners at the local, state and national levels to actively provide updates and information for Chickasaws, employees, the public and patrons of tribal facilities and businesses.

State public health officials are in contact with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as the situation changes. Chickasaw Nation leadership and emergency response teams are also communicating with state and federal health officials as we work together to meet this challenge.
