“All of our Navajo people need to continue the good practices that helped us reach this point. We’re seeing good indications with the daily numbers of new cases, but we have to remember that in other cities and states they’ve seen spikes in new cases due easing of restrictions. We still have a daily curfew in effect seven days a week, our government remains closed except for essential workers, and we still have public health orders that require everyone to wear protective masks and practice social distancing,” Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez on Thursday evening.

The Navajo Department of Health will soon issue another public health emergency order to address public gatherings. More details will be provided once the new order is finalized.
