For the second day in a row, on Monday the Navajo Nation reported no new COVID-19 cases or deaths.
Tribal health officials say over 191,000 vaccine doses have already been distributed among the community—with more than 87 percent of people already receiving their first-round dose.
Tribal President Jonathan Nez said in a statement, “Once again, the Navajo Nation is exemplifying what can be accomplished when we listen to the public health experts and work together.”
He continued, Our hard work is paying off and our prayers are being answered.”
Last week, the Navajo Nation—which covers parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah—had a soft re-opening, with some businesses opening their doors at 25% capacity.
