Opinion: Gov. Doug Ducey’s ‘stay home, stay healthy, stay connected’ order probably won’t change life much more than previous COVID-19 orders. /Editor’s note: Opinion pieces are published for discussion purposes only.
Nine in 10 Americans have been told to stay at home, according to The New York Times.
At least 38 states have issued shelter-in-place or similarly worded orders. The Navajo Nation has issued an order and curfew.
Confirmed COVID-19 cases are now approaching 1,600 in Arizona, with cases in all 15 counties.
Gov. Doug Ducey on March 30 issued a “stay home, stay healthy, stay connected” order, effective at 5 p.m. March 31.
People should “limit their time away from their place of residence or property,” according to the order, except to provide or utilize essential services. But how much will that change life for most Arizonans?
