“The Delta variant has created surges in COVID-19 infections in several states including Utah and Arizona. We are not out of this pandemic, but our public health experts have given us the necessary guidance to keep ourselves safe including getting vaccinated and continuing to wear a mask in public. If you travel off the Navajo Nation, wear a mask in public. We have to continue to be very cautious and push back on this virus,” said NavajoNation President Jonathan Nez.
Health care facilities across the Navajo Nation continue to administer COVID-19 vaccines during drive-thru events or by appointment. If you would like to receive the vaccine, please contact your health care provider for more information for your Service Unit.
“While many of our people are enjoying the weekend, our health care workers and first responders continue to fight for us. So, let’s fight for them by continuing to take precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and the Delta variant. Please be safe and keep praying for our people,” said Vice President Myron Lizer.
