►The Navajo Nation is maintaining a mask mandate to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus, even as the last of the states that surround the reservation dropped the requirement.
U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy and his family have all tested positive for COVID-19 despite being vaccinated, he announced Friday, saying the experience was "disappointing."
Murthy was not present at the White House coronavirus briefing Wednesday, and he has not had any recent contact with the president, according to the White House.
Murthy, his wife, Dr. Alice Chen, their 5-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter all tested positive. All have been fully vaccinated, except the youngest child who is not eligible to receive a vaccine, Murthy said.
