The COVID-19 pandemic has completely upended the way that people in this country go about their daily lives. It has become clear that this is no longer simply an acute emergency that is going to go away quickly. This is a protracted disaster that has altered the way we interact with others. As Summer draws to a close and Fall moves in, this seemed like a good time for our Phoenix personal injury lawyers to discuss some fun and safe activities visitors and residents to Phoenix can participate in during this ongoing pandemic.
Residents and visitors in and around Phoenix understandably want to stay safe during these time times. It is important to understand all recommendations in place from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as well as Arizona health agencies. Generally, this includes maintaining social distancing at all times and wearing a mask, particularly when indoors.
Arizona is no longer under any kind of stay at home older, and many businesses have reopened their doors to visitors. However, most establishments do have requirements about how many people they can have on their premises at once.
Depending on how COVID-19 continues to spread across Arizona, stay at home orders and/or business openings and closures may change. State and local health officials will continue to monitor any uptick in COVID-19 cases and make adjustments as necessary. As we all work together to combat this virus, it is important for everybody to take steps to protect one another.
