Romero's order will close dine-in areas of restaurants, bars, food courts and close gyms and other venues where groups of people congregate, through the end of the month.

As the decision may disrupt some people's schedules. This article is a resources the Tucson community can use to either continue education at home, to help with meals, or to help with childcare while parents work.
Non-profit agency Mobile Meals of Southern Arizona is working to to deliver food to seniors and adults with disabilities.
In response to the COVID-19 virus, Mobile Meals of Southern Arizona is collaborating with local organizations to ensure food service continues for 200 vulnerable seniors and people with disabilities experiencing food insecurity.
As a small non-profit agency, Mobile Meals depends heavily on volunteer drivers to deliver meals. Many of our regular volunteer drivers are over 70 years old and canceled for fear of exposure.
We are working with the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona and the American Red Cross of Southern Arizona, in addition to our nine current facility meal providers, to deliver daily meals as well as shelf-stable food boxes to help people shelter in place should meal delivery be disrupted. This partnership will help low-income people—some of whom receive therapeutic diets— who do not have the resources to stock up on food and supplies.
Governor Doug Ducey and Arizona Superintendent Kathy Hoffman announced a statewide closure of Arizona schools effective Monday.
