TUCSON, Ariz. — Oro Valley Mayor Joe Winfield declared a local emergency Tuesday in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The decision comes with a strong advisory that restaurants and businesses follow measures of social distancing and rely on take-out services.
I appreciate the restaurants and businesses that have already taken the initiative to put social distancing into practice by adjusting their services and encouraging more take-out and delivery orders. We understand that this pandemic is already having a tremendous impact on our families, schools and businesses. This proclamation helps bring our community into alignment and positions us to take any appropriate actions in the interest of public health.
