Navajo Nation To Install A Curfew Starting Monday Night

Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez says a reservation-wide curfew will be in effect starting Monday evening from 8 p.m. until 5 a.m. Nez made the announcement official Sunday. The president also says “we’ve reached a point where our medical facilities and health care workers are in dire need of more Personal Protective Equipment, hospital beds and other critical resources.” He says it’s going to get worse if people continue to ignore orders to stay home as much as possible. Nez says they are working with members of Congress and state partners to get more help and supplies to the Navajo Nation. The number of positive cases of COVID-19 has reached 128 as of Sunday.
