Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) issued an order on Monday directing state residents to stay at home until the end of April, following the leads of several other governors as health officials try to stop the spread of coronavirus.
Ducey’s order directs Arizonans to remain at home unless performing essential services such as buying groceries or receiving medical care, similar to orders issued the same day by the leaders of Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.
“Keeping Arizonans safe and healthy as we slow the spread of COVID-19 remains our top priority,” said Ducey in a news release. “Arizona citizens and businesses are already responsibly responding to this crisis. This order builds on the state’s efforts to protect public health by reminding Arizonans to maintain healthy habits and find alternative ways to stay connected with friends and loved ones while spending time at home.”
Ducey’s office has faced criticism over its list of essential services, which has allowed businesses such as nail salons and golf courses to remain open amid the coronavirus outbreak.
