If the Navajo Nation were a U.S. state, it would rank No. 3 for per-capita COVID-19 infections, behind only New York and New Jersey.
As of Monday, the country's largest Native American reservation - which overlaps with Utah, Arizona and New Mexico and has 174,000 residents - had 813 confirmed cases of the virus and 28 total deaths, a per-capita infection rate of 468 per 100,000 people. New York's infection rate, by comparison, was 994 per 100,000 on Monday.
