\u201cThe number of communities with high transmission of COVID-19 and number of positive cases has slightly increased from last week. We urge our Navajo citizens to follow and advise the three w\u2019s to your relatives and friends, such as wearing a fitted mask, washing your hands, and watching your distance from others. Most importantly, get up to date on your COVID-19 vaccines and boosters. If you are feeling ill, please get tested, and get necessary treatment if needed. Together, we can prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our communities. Please stay safe throughout the 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

\u201cOur thoughts are with those who are currently fighting COVID-19 and we pray for a speedy and full recovery. Our thoughts and prayers are also with the families of people who have lost a loved one to COVID-19. Please continue to be safe while attending large gatherings. Be safe and please say a prayer each day for healing and recovery,\u201d said Vice President Myron Lizer.<\/p>\n
