Navajo Nation Extends Stay-At-Home Order

The Navajo Nation will extend its stay-at-home order and is implementing a daily curfew starting Monday.

The Navajo Department of Health issued a public health order, extending the stay-at-home lockdown through at least Feb.15. The extension is in response to the continued spread of the coronavirus. 

Exempt from the lockdown are essential workers and those that are obtaining essential items or in emergencies. 

The order also enacts a daily curfew from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. and halts the 57-hour weekend lockdowns in order to open up availability to vaccinate more people.

More information on COVID-19 testing schedules is available at the Navajo Health Command Operations Center website. For more information on COVID-19, visit the Navajo Department of Health's COVID-19 website
