Navajo Nation Fighting Coronavirus and Longtime Inequities

With more than three thousand infections and 102 deaths from coronavirus as of Monday, the Navajo Nation in the southwestern U.S. currently has the third highest per-capita infection rate after New York and New Jersey.

And it was only last Wednesday that the nation received its roughly $600 million portion of much needed federal relief funds. We’ll hear from Navajo Nation Vice President Myron Lizer and get the latest on conditions there.
