WINDOW ROCK, Arizona <\/strong>\u2013 On Tuesday, the Navajo Department of Health, in coordination with the Navajo Epidemiology Center and the Navajo Area Indian Health Service, reported 36 new COVID-19 cases for the Navajo Nation and no recent deaths. The total number of deaths is 1,927. 606,696 COVID-19 tests have been administered. The overall total number of positive COVID-19 cases is now 75,289, including 22 delayed reported cases. A new case is defined as a positive test within the last 72-hours. Some cases are due to delayed reporting from the states. Any positive tests from beyond the last 72-hours are considered delayed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must be very cautious with the increased spread of COVID-19 and now the spread of Monkeypox. Continue to follow the three w\u2019s, wear a fitted mask, wash your hands, and watch your distance from others. If you are feeling ill like symptoms, please get tested, and if you are sick, please stay home and isolate. Let\u2019s keep each other safe this week,\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

\u201cKeep praying for our people and frontline workers as we continue on in this pandemic. We are stronger when we work together and support one another. Please be safe and keep praying for our people and our communities,\u201d said Vice President Myron Lizer.<\/p>\n
