Mayor’s Minute: Preparing to Re-Open Safely
COVID-19 has changed how everyone operates their businesses, how we gather our household supplies and groceries, how we socialize and how our local non-profits and faith-based organizations serve the community. Superior has not been immune to the impacts of COVID-19, and thankfully our early, proactive actions to cancel large public events and physical distancing, increased hygiene and sanitation measures provided an important layer of protection over our community. While we have had a few positive cases, we have not encountered the devastation that other communities across the state, nation and world have experienced.
Working together with our business, economic and community development partners at the Superior Chamber of Commerce, Rebuild Superior Inc. and our local business leaders, we have adopted a Superior Safety Pledge. Our local businesses, faith-based communities and non-profit organizations are pledging to operate safely utilizing the State of Arizona Health and Human Services Guidelines and the Centers for Disease Control Guidance. We all are committed to ensuring that we do all that we can to keep our local residents, patrons and workforce safe as we re-open Superior.
On Friday, our beauty salons, barbershops and retail merchants are all allowed to open with new physical distancing protocols and increased sanitation measures. On Monday, May 11, restaurants may open their dining rooms with a limited capacity, increased sanitation and of course, physical distancing.
