WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. — The Navajo Nation has reported two new cases of COVID-19 and one more death.

The known death toll is at 1,348.
Last week, the Navajo Department of Health lifted the tribe’s stay-at-home order, easing restrictions to allow in-person meetings and ceremonies of 25 people or fewer and drive-thru gatherings of up to 100 vehicles.
Face masks are required by everyone on the Navajo Nation, whether or not they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
