Stop the spread of Dikos Ntsaaígíí-19 (COVID-19)

“Your health and well-being being are our priorities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Let’s not back down! Wear your masks, practice physical distancing, and frequently wash your hands.”

– Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez and Vice President Myron Lizer

Maintain at least 6 feet of physical distance from others.

Public Health Order 2020-015: All individuals on the Navajo Nation should remain home during lockdown hours except in the event of an emergency, to work as an essential employee, to vote, to cultivate food to tend to livestock, or to exercise. All essential employees should present documentation or a letter of designation from their employer on official letterhead with contact information for verification. The lockdown also requires the closure of all businesses on the Navajo Nation.

The order also advises residents to avoid traveling off of the Navajo Nation, as doing so can increase the chance of exposure to COVID-19.

With the rapid rise of positive COVID-19 cases in areas surrounding the Navajo Nation, Navajo Department of Health officials advise that staying home is the best preventative measure to stop the spread of the virus.

Cover your cough and sneeze into your arm or sleeve (and not your hand).

Clean and disinfect commonly-used surfaces.

Wear a face mask in public places.

Stay home and self-isolate when you are sick, except in an emergency.

Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
