Governor Doug Ducey, Arizona Department of Health Services Director Dr. Cara Christ, and Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs Director Major General Michael T. McGuire held a briefing to provide updates on COVID-19 and public health in Arizona on Thursday.
The governor urged Arizonans to take responsible actions to help contain the spread of the virus — limit time away from home, practice physical distancing, wear a mask and follow ADHS health guidance.
“Arizonans and businesses across the state have worked for months to protect others and contain the spread of COVID-19 — and we can’t let up now,” Ducey said. “Right now, Arizonans are safer at home. And when you’re away from home, don’t forget to limit social gatherings, stay six feet from others, wash your hands and wear a mask. These simple steps can make a big difference.”
Yavapai County is a boon for tourists over the weekends and we need your help protecting everyone from this pandemic, Farneti stated in a news release. YCCHS asks that everyone heed the advice from the governor and Dr. Christ in protecting yourself and others, including your loved ones, your friends, your neighbors, and your healthcare workers.
