 Thanks for your #MaskUpPimaCounty photos
We asked and you delivered! Thanks to all the County departments who shared photos of employees taking part in our #MaskUpPImaCounty campaign.
The Health Department is already seeing early data that suggests the County and City's mask requirements are making a dent in the number of new COVID-19 cases in the region.
Check out these videos from the Health Department and Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation on what they did to promote the campaign.
Free COVID testing available
As a reminder, employees may use up to one hour of regular work hours to get free COVID-19 testing, which the County is offering at three sites around Tucson and several mobile sites expected to be added in the coming weeks.
Appointments generally do not take longer than 15 minutes and you can usually expect results within 72 hours. Sites are at the Kino Event Center, Ellie Towne Center and Udall Center.

Workplace safety begins with the commute
No matter what mode of travel you choose to get to work, taking safety precautions will help lower your COVID-19 risk and help protect co-workers and household members.
Recently, the Centers for Disease Control recommended driving alone, using active modes of transportation (bike and walk), or carpooling with household members when feasible. For some, public transit is still the most viable option.
