PHOENIX, Ariz. — Arizona Governor Doug Ducey held a news conference Thursday to address the COVID-19 pandemic in the state.
Arizona has recently seen an uptick of reported COVID-19 cases -- including 1,315 cases Thursday -- worrying health experts, and some in the medical and education communities.
Gov. Ducey and Arizona Department of Health Services Director Dr. Cara Christ urged Arizonans to take caution, wear a mask when out in public and avoid large gatherings.
The governor also announced $1.6 million in new funding for local food banks. At the news conference, a representative for St. Mary's Food Bank said the funding would allow them to expand food delivery services to seniors.
