Officials with CDC say people in 9 Arizona counties should wear mask indoors, as the state experiences an uptick in new cases.
During its weekly COVID-19 update on June 29, officials with the Arizona Department of Health Services added more than 16,000 new cases and 63 more deaths. Results for PCR testing currently show a 28% positivity rate, but many people take at-home tests, and don't always report the results.
Arizona Public Health Association Executive Director Will Humble says there is an increase in patients hospitalized with COVID in the general wards, but not in the ICU. He says that is a good sign. "The virus is having a field day right now, but its infecting people who have already been infected once before, at least once before, or people that are already vaccinated, and so, it's not resulting in superbad outcomes," said Humble."I do support the community levels approach that CDC has. I just think it's, at this point, almost pie in the sky to expect more than a small fraction of people to follow those recommendations, because people are pretty burned out on this.
