Facing mounting pressure to respond to Arizona’s ballooning COVID-19 numbers, Gov. Doug Ducey on Monday announced he would again shut down bars, gyms and theaters in Arizona.
His forthcoming executive order, which also will cover water parks and tubing, is expected to take effect at 8 p.m. It will not affect churches or restaurants.
“I think we saw the photos and videos of some of the things that were happening around our state this weekend (at bars and clubs), and the result of that (type of activity) has been an increase in the spread,” the Republican leader said at an afternoon briefing.
“These are sensible regulations by the governor and still allow for local control.” ~Jordan Rose, Founder of Rose Law Group and Co-Founder of HealthyVerify Certification
