The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians announced on March 27 that as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Chumash properties will extend their temporary closure by, at minimum, an additional 30 days. The affected properties include Chumash Casino Resort, Hotel Corque, Root 246, Hadsten House, and the Kitá Wines tasting room. The tribe announced that it would be temporarily closing those facilities on March 15, and those closures are now expected to continue into late April at the very least.
