TUCSON, Ariz. — The towns of Marana and Oro Valley have updated their local emergency declarations to reflect Pima County's tough closure order issued Thursday.
By a three to two vote Supervisors voted to close effective at 8 p.m. Thursday night, restaurants, bars, theaters, gyms and a wide range of other businesses where close person to person interaction is likely. Restaurants can remain open for takeout and delivery service only.
Now Marana and Oro Valley are joining the effort to flatten the curve.

Our County Board of Supervisors has determined that this next level of precaution is necessary, so the Town of Oro Valley will follow their lead and adjust our local recommendations accordingly.”
