Some cities are firm on their stance about enforcing face masks amid the coronavirus pandemic, while others are still exploring the issue, according to the Pinal Partnership’s virtual mayors’ update on Friday.
Earlier this week, Gov. Doug Ducey announced that he would allow mayors to make the call on mandating masks as the number of COVID-19 cases in Arizona surged.
Some Pinal County municipalities, such as Casa Grande, said they will require residents to wear masks since Ducey’s announcement on Wednesday.
