TRIBAL REOPENING AMIDST COVID-19 SAFELY (TRACS)

On Wednesday, October 20, 2021, the Shawnee Tribe will move back into Phase 2 of a safe reopening plan. Attached is the updated Tribal Reopening Amidst COVID-19 Safely (TRACS) policy. Tribal leadership and the Emergency Management Officer continue to evaluate the current data and track the COVID-19 case status trends in Ottawa and Texas county.

Shawnee Tribe Phase 2 quick reference:

Single visitor access to ST facilities is permitted – masks and temperature screenings required
Additional guidance for fully vaccinated and non-vaccinated employees
Travel restrictions slightly modified
Social distancing is essential! Please do not congregate in common areas or individual offices.
Extend grace to our citizens, elders, each other, and yourself! The pandemic has been challenging for all. Many of Shawnee citizens & staff have suffered sickness, loss, and tragedy during this past year. Please remember to be patient, compassionate, positive, and considerate as we begin to engage in face-to-face interactions once again.
Extra considerations for high-risk/vulnerable groups: Please be mindful that some of the Shawnee staff and/or their family members fall into the high-risk or vulnerable category, as defined by CDC. We ask that everyone error on the side of caution while working on-site, specifically when interacting with team members falling in this category.
