Title

Countywide Mask Mandate - Indoor Public Places

RESOLUTION NO. 2021 - 87, of the Board of Supervisors, adopting regulations necessary for the public health and safety of Pima County's inhabitants, requiring persons to wear face coverings when they are in indoor public places and cannot easily maintain a continuous physical distance of at least 6 feet from all other persons.

 

Per the language of the Resolution, this requirement shall be in effect upon adoption of the Resolution and “will remain in effect at least through February 28, 2022, pending case counts and hospitalization rates in our community and any further action by the Board.”

 

In addition to all the public health reasons cited in the proposed Resolution for reinstating a countywide mask mandate at this critical moment in the pandemic, it is important to note that without such a mandate, we can assume that local businesses will suffer.  Individuals who cannot be assured that their fellow Pima County residents are going to be masking up may simply choose to stop patronizing restaurants and other local businesses altogether in order to protect their health and that of their families.
