Actor Sean Penn and his disaster relief organization, Core Response, visited the Navajo nation Friday to help with providing supplies and testing in the area after he saw the increase in coronavirus cases.
"A big thank you to actor Sean Penn and his organization @CoreResponse coming to the Nazlini, AZ today to collaborate and help the Navajo people with resources to increase testing and to help fight COVID-19 on the Navajo Nation! We look forward to working together. Ahe’hee’," Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez’s tweet said.

Penn stated in his video that he had brought 45,000 coronavirus tests to L.A, California and will be doing so nationwide.
