Yogonet: Navajo casino reopening plan cleared by tribal lawmakers

November 3, 2020

The Navajo Nation Gaming Enterprise on Monday got the approval from the Navajo Nation Council to reopen the New Mexico and Arizona venues at a minimum 50% capacity later this month. The director of the Navajo Department of Health told the council that the tribe is in a second surge of COVID-19 cases, and that tribal casino would not be allowed to operate until community spread is low.
