The Native Village of Napakiak is tightening its COVID-19 lockdown restrictions. Community members are now required to get permission and a day pass from the Native Village of Napakiak to leave town. If residents don’t return before the day is up, they will be fined $100. Each subsequent offense will go up by $50. 

Nonresidents must also get permission to enter. Those entering the village without permission will be fined $100, and an additional $50 for every offense.

 

For permission to enter or leave Napakiak, you can call the Native Village of Napakiak council members.
