Coconino County issued a proclamation requiring residents and visitors to wear face coverings when physical distancing isn’t possible, in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Face masks aren’t required for people while at home or while eating and drinking, nor for children under the age of 2. Coconino County has almost 1,500 confirmed cases of the coronavirus disease. It joins several other counties and cities, including Flagstaff, Phoenix, and Tucson, in new requirements for face masks in public.
