Message from Supervisor Gates

Dear Friends,          

In light of the rapidly evolving Coronavirus / COVID-19 all District 3 Community Events are CANCELLED through the end of March.  Please do not hesitate to contact my office with issues or if you need assistance at (602) 506.7562 or District3@Maricopa.gov.  

 

ELECTIONS - NEW INFORMATION

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, at the direction of the Board of Supervisors, the Election Department will be reducing the amount of in-person voting locations from 229 individual polling locations to 151 "vote anywhere" locations due to poll worker attrition, facility closures and a shortage of cleaning supplies. 

Please check Locations.Maricopa.Vote for all open locations and your voting location as it may have changed.  Additionally, you can visit Visit BeBallotReady.vote or Maricopa County Elections for additional information.

View the Board of Supervisors Press Release

The Board of Supervisors held an emergency meeting last night to discuss election options.  You may find the notice from the meeting and decision here.

Our County Elections Department is preparing for the Democratic Presidential Preference Election next Tuesday and instituting procedures to keep polling locations sanitized.  If you have received but not mailed your ballot, you must drop it off at a drop box, early vote location, or on election day, a polling location or vote center.

COVID-19

Our Maricopa County Public Health Department is monitoring the COVID-19 situation closely and is sharing information as it becomes available on our website at Maricopa.gov/Coronavirus.  I have included additional links and information below as well to help you prepare during this time.  As a member of the Maricopa County Board of Health, know that I am monitoring the situation closely and will be sharing information as it is available.

All my best and stay safe,

Bill

Governor Doug Ducey Issues Declaration of Emergency, Executive Order to Combat Continued Spread of COVID-19 (March 11, 2020)

Visit Maricopa.gov/Coronavirus for the latest County Updates.

The Coronavirus/COVID-19 situation is rapidly changing.  Below are resources and links to help you navigate this time.

  • We know that COVID-19 tends to affect older adults (over age 60) and those with underlying health conditions more than other individuals.
    • Children tend to not be as seriously impacted.
    • Staying home when you are sick helps individuals at greater risk reduce their exposure and their chances of becoming severely ill.
    • Individuals who are at higher risk of illness due to age or underlying health conditions should make sure they have enough food, medications, and supplies in case they become ill and have to stay home.
  • COVID-19 spreads through respiratory droplets when a person coughs or sneezes
    • Spread through close contact
    • Within 6 feet for greater than 10 minutes
  • People are most contagious when they are most symptomatic
  • There is now community spread in Arizona, which means we have positive cases of COVID-19 that we have not been able to identify the source of exposure and there was no travel.
  • There is currently no treatment or vaccine for COVID-19. Asymptomatic people do not require testing for COVID-19 because even if a test come back positive, there is no change to the treatment protocol.
  • To minimize spread, people should cover their coughs and sneezes and stay home if they are sick. People should also wash their hands frequently and not touch their face, where germs enter the body.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO PREVENT COMMUNITY SPREAD?

  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  • Cover your cough/sneeze with a tissue (or your elbow), then throw the tissue in the trash.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe. (Including door knobs, toilet handles, and sink handles, etc.)
  • Wash your hands frequently.
  • Stay home from work if you are ill.
