Statement from Chairman Jack Sellers on Governor Ducey's Executive Order

Maricopa County respects the governor’s authority to issue executive orders during this emergency.  The county face covering regulation is no longer in effect as of the issuance of this morning’s order. 

I and other members of the Board receive regular updates from the Maricopa County Department of Public Health.  I encourage members of the public to stay informed about the level of spread of COVID-19 in their communities and vaccination rates by using the resources on our website.

Like the governor, I encourage people to take precautions such as wearing masks and staying away from large groups where you can’t stay six feet apart.  And please get vaccinated as soon as possible.  While the vaccine supply is still limited, Public Health is holding vaccine events every week in different communities, local pharmacies have appointments and there are the state-run vaccine sites.
