The latest numbers released Sunday bring the tribe’s pandemic total to 30,0007 confirmed cases. The number of known deaths remains 1,233.

The Navajo Nation had a soft reopening last week with 25% capacity for some businesses under certain restrictions.

Still, mask mandates and daily curfews remain.

Tribal President Jonathan Nez reiterated in a statement the importance of getting vaccinated. However, he said those who are vaccinated should not take vacations or hold large in-person gatherings with the ongoing spread of COVID-19 variants.

Now is not the time to take vacations or to begin holding large in-person gatherings due to the ongoing spread of the COVID-19 variants in neighboring states.

The vast Navajo reservation covers parts of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah.
