Navajo Nation unhappy about Grand Canyon reopening due to COVID-19 risk

Navajo Nation leadership isn’t happy with the National Park Service’s decision to start reopening Grand Canyon National Park.

Tribal President Jonathan Nez also expressed concerns about Arizona’s phased reopening plans.

“We are disappointed to see that Arizona is reopening,” Nez said Friday in a press release that cited concerns about a possible spike in cases of COVID-19, which has hit the tribe hard.

On Thursday night, Navajo Nation updated its reported total of coronavirus cases to 3,632, with 2,058 being in Arizona.

Navajo Nation territory spreads across three northern Arizona counties — Coconino, Apache and Navajo — and crosses into Utah and New Mexico.
