The Navajo Nation is currently in Orange status. The increase in COVID-19 cases led to new public health emergency orders. Three Public Health Emergency Orders (PHEO) 2021-017, 2021-018, and 2021-019, were issued on August 12, 2021. These public health orders can help decrease the spread of COVID-19 and contagious multiple variants.
