A little tribe whose reservation lies deep in a gorge off the Grand Canyon is suspending its tourism procedures until February.

No cases of COVID-19 have been reported on the Havasupai reservation.

But tribal officials say they're acting out of an abundance of caution since the virus could spread quickly there.

The reservation is renowned because of its blue-green waterfalls that draw tourists from around the world.

Tribal officials say whoever has a permit to remain on the reservation this season will be rescheduled for the same dates in 2022.

Meanwhile, health officials in Arizona reported 422 additional cases of the coronavirus Friday.
