PIMA COUNTY, ARIZONA - The Pima County Board of Supervisors will hold a special meeting at 3 p.m., May 14, to discuss changes to Board Resolution 2020-96, which requires everyone in Pima County to wear a face covering when physical distancing can't be maintained.
Board Chair Sharon Bronson asked for the special meeting after the Centers for Disease Control today issued new guidance stating that the continued wearing of face masks for fully vaccinated individuals is no longer necessary. More than half of the eligible population of Pima County has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and more than 350,000 County residents are fully vaccinated.
The Board also will hear updates from the County Health Department about the vaccination of youths age 12 to 15 who are now eligible to receive the Pfizer vaccine, and an update on the progress of the FEMA-supported mobile vaccination clinics that began May 3.
The meeting will be held online and will be streamed to the County's website and to the County Facebook page.
