In a social media post<\/a> on April 7, 2020, President Raymond Nadolny of the Red Cloud Indian School<\/a> said an employee of the educational institution is the first COVID-19 case on the Pine Ridge Reservation.<\/p>\n

According to Nadolny, the elementary school employee and spouse recently traveled to California for a pre-scheduled medical procedure. The couple began a 14-day quarantine after returning to Pine Ridge on March 27.<\/p>\n

The employee began feeling ill on April 3 but was not given a coronavirus test at the Indian Health Service hospital on the reservation, Nadolny said. The person was instead tested at a non-IHS facility, according to the post. The positive result came back on April 7.<\/p>\n

“Thankfully, our employee contacted Red Cloud immediately upon learning of their positive test result, and we in turn immediately contacted the Oglala Sioux Tribe,” Nadolny wrote in the post.<\/p>\n

The case is the only one on the reservation, President Julian Bear Runner said later in a video message<\/a> later on April 7.<\/p>\n

Bear Runner said the person was being treated off the reservation. Nadolny said the employee is hospitalized in Rapid City, where the spouse also has been transported.<\/p>\n

Red Cloud Indian School is a privately-run Catholic institution.<\/p>\n
