WINDOW ROCK, ARIZ. — The Navajo Nation reported two additional COVID-19 deaths and 49 new cases Wednesday.
The tribe’s pandemic totals now stand at 31,715 cases and 1,386 known deaths.
The health department plans to issue a new public health emergency order this week to transition the Navajo Nation to ‘Orange Status’ due to a recent rise in COVID-19 cases.
