Governor Doug Ducey issued an executive order, effective Tuesday at 5 p.m., which generally requires residents to stay home unless they have an urgent need to go out for specific allowable purposes – such as grocery shopping, trips to the pharmacy or the bank, and to exercise at a space of six feet apart from others.

In accordance with state statute this order can be enforced, with an opportunity to comply.

YCCHS asks all Yavapai County residents to comply to protect yourself, your families, friends and neighbors from COVID-19. Even with mild symptoms, this virus is much worse than the flu for anyone. The most common symptoms of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are fever, tiredness, and dry cough, and in severe cases, difficulty breathing.
