WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. (AP) — The Navajo Nation is reporting only one new COVID-19 case and no deaths. Tribal health officials said it only confirmed one case as of Monday night.
The total number of virus-related deaths on the Navajo Nation remains 1,340. The total number of reported cases stands at 30,927. Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez says the mask mandate will remain in place, especially as concern grows over virus variants.
