Navajo Nation is home to around 170,000 people and, if it was its own state, it would have more coronavirus cases per capita than any state in America. So far, at least 100 people have died and over 3,100 people have tested positive for Covid-19 in the territory, which covers portions of Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico.
