IR spectroscopy from three epochs is presented for the very bright, X-ray nova YZ Reticuli (Nova Reticuli 2020). The first spectrum, from 2.5 months after outburst, shows a nova well into the coronal phase, with strong lines of [Si VI] and [Si VII], and with little or no interstellar reddening, and no dust emission. The second spectrum, from one month later, shows a four-fold drop in brightness and a measurable increase in the coronal lines relative to the lower excitation features. The final spectrum, from 7 months post outburst, is a factor of six fainter and shows a decrease in the relative strength of the coronal lines from the previous epoch. Emission lines from O I and [N I] are present at all epochs, indicating the persistence of a region of largely neutral gas in this otherwise high excitation object.
