Navajo Nation on Friday: 119 new cases of COVID-19 and eight more deaths reported in 24 hours
By Brenda Norrell
Navajo President Jonathan Nez said, “The only way we’re going to get through the COVID-19 pandemic is by unifying our efforts and working together and that’s what we’re doing when we collaborate with chapters and others to get food, water, and other supplies to families. Today, we saw a lot of elders that live in rural areas and we were able to give them the supplies they need to stay home and stay safe so that they don’t have to go into public and put themselves at risk of the virus. During this weekend’s curfew, we ask everyone to abide by the curfew and stay home!."
Speaking of Mother’s Day, President Nez said, "In our families, the mothers and grandmothers are the foundation and the source of strength for us throughout our lives. We wish all of you a Happy Mother’s Day. Please be safe."
The distribution by the Navajo President's Office began two weeks ago. About 4,500 families have received food, water, fire wood, protective masks, sanitizer and cleaning products, pet food, and other essential items.

Nice to know they are being cared for. That everyone can abide by the nightly curfews. Not grab signs. Protest. Every life matters. That especially if our elders. Stay home. Quit whining Americans. Take example from the Dine and protect people over profit !
