The Border Reports – March 31, 2020

Stay Home, the slogan with which Arizona State Government hopes to mitigate the spread of Coronavirus began this Tuesday, March 31 at five in the afternoon. The strategy was enacted by Arizona Governor Doug Doucey and could well translate into a kind of curfew. It is valid until Thursday, April 30 and seeks to limit the time abroad for residents in order to mitigate the spread of Covid-19, which has already affected 1,289 people and killed 24.

Time away from home is limited except to carry out or participate in essential activities. The strategy is called “Stay Home”, which is aimed at maintaining healthy habits, maintaining social distance and looking for alternatives to be connected with family members. The order allows essential activities such as working in essential businesses that remain open, going to the doctor, the supermarket, buying food, medicine and even exercising outdoors but not indoors or where groups of people gather.
