Gov. Ducey lifts Arizona COVID mandates, including local mask rules [View all]
PHOENIX – Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey on Thursday rolled back the state’s remaining COVID-19 mitigation requirements, including local face mask mandates.
Under a new executive order, all of the state’s business requirements have been changed to recommendations, and bars can now go back to their pre-pandemic operations.
In addition, events of more than 50 people, including youth sports, no longer need approval from local governments.
Businesses still have the option to require social distancing and masks and refuse service to patrons who don’t comply.
Mask requirement for K-12 schools remain in effect, according to Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction Kathy Hoffman.
