WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. – The Navajo Nation on Wednesday reported six new confirmed COVID-19 cases and four additional deaths.

Tribal health officials said the latest figures pushed the total number of cases since the pandemic began more than a year ago to 30,793 on the vast reservation that covers parts of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah.

The known death toll now is 1,306.

Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez said people must continue getting vaccinated, wear face masks and practice social distancing.

“The Navajo Nation went from having one of the highest per capita infection rates in the country to some of the lowest daily infection numbers we have seen on a consistent basis,” Nez said in a statement. “We are not out of the pandemic and we can expect to see new daily cases for some time until we get more and more of our people vaccinated.”
