All Osage Nation offices are closed until further notice because of exposure to the coronavirus.
The Osage Nation Health Center states that six employees at the Wah-Zha-Zhi Health Center tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday. Additional testing was performed and immediate quarantining went into effect for those employees or others who had close contact with them. At least one of the employees attended a local funeral and the outdoor election event on Monday.

A testing event will take place next week. Event details are forthcoming. If you feel like you have the coronavirus, call 918-287-0028 for more information on how to proceed.
