SOMERTON, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Cocopah Tribal Council made the decision Monday to temporarily close the resort due to coronavirus concerns.

While there are no confirmed coronavirus (COVID -19) cases among the casino's employees, officials say the move is in the best interest of the entire community.

"We believe that this rapidly evolving crisis demands strong proactive measures in order to mitigate risk and prevent further exposure."
