\u201cWe must be cautious with the spread of COVID-19 and Monkeypox. Continue to follow and advise the three w\u2019s to your relatives and friends, such as wear a fitted mask, wash your hands, and watch your distance from others. If you are feeling ill, please get tested, and get necessary treatment if needed. Together, we can prevent the transmission of COVID-19 in our communities,\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

\u201cOur thoughts are with those who are currently fighting COVID-19 and we pray for a speedy and full recovery. Please continue to take precautions while traveling and in public. Be safe and please say a prayer each day for our people, frontline workers, and communities,\u201d said Vice President Myron Lizer.<\/p>\n
