Navajo Nation

A lightning-caused wildfire near Wood Springs on the Navajo Nation has forced the evacuation of some residents in the area.

Arizona health officials reported the highest single day of confirmed coronavirus cases for the state Sunday, with 3,858 new positive cases. 

The Navajo Nation will again impose a 57 hour curfew beginning tonight at sundown and lifting Monday morning at sunrise due to the surge of coronavirus cases across Arizona.

All flags on the Navajo Nation will be flown at half-staff today and Thursday to honor a veteran tribal police officer who died from COVID-19 in the line of duty.

Cases of coronavirus and related hospitalizations continue to rise in Arizona, with more than 1,300 known deaths reported. The Navajo Nation has reinstated weekend lockdowns aimed at slowing the spread, and the Hopi Tribe is telling people to wear face coverings in public.
