WINDOW ROCK, Arizona <\/strong>\u2013 On Thursday, the Navajo Department of Health, in coordination with the Navajo Epidemiology Center and the Navajo Area Indian Health Service, reported 43 new COVID-19 cases for the Navajo Nation and no recent deaths. The total number of deaths is 1,902. 597,721 COVID-19 tests have been administered.<\/p>\n

The overall total number of positive COVID-19 cases is now 73,809, including 15 delayed reported cases. A new case is defined as a positive test within the last 72-hours.

Following these everyday safety tips can reduce your chances of contracting COVID-19. We will get through this pandemic together,\u201d said Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez. <\/p>\n

Health care facilities on the Navajo Nation continue to administer COVID-19 vaccines. If you would like to receive one of the COVID-19 vaccines, please contact your health care provider and schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you feel sick or have symptoms related to COVID-19, we kindly ask that you remain home and get necessary treatment if symptoms worsen.
