Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez has extended the weekend curfew starting this holiday weekend and on through the end of September.
While Nez acknowledges that seeing COVID-19 rates dropping is encouraging, residents must be cautious. He says other safety measures such as social distancing and wearing masks must also remain in place.
“Those numbers are coming down, but I just want to say that we can’t let up," Nez said. "We cannot stop what we’re doing. And that’s wearing masks, and social distancing.”
The 32-hour weekend curfews begin on Saturday nights and end Monday mornings.
