Researchers urge 3-week shelter-in-place order for Arizona

State leaders receive letter from research team

By Jasmine Ramirez | November 28, 2020 at 7:00 PM MST - Updated November 28 at 11:12 PM

TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - The surge in COVID-19 cases in Arizona have university researchers urging state leaders to implement a 3-week shelter-in-place order and statewide mask mandate.

The University of Arizona’s COVID Modeling Team sent a letter Friday to the Arizona Department of Health Services.

Researchers foresee a hospital crisis with the state’s current spike and said the situation could become a disaster if nothing is done.

The modeling team said, “It would be akin to facing a major forest fire without evacuation orders,” if actions such as a three-week stay-home shutdown aren’t taken.

If trends continue, the research team projects Arizona will surpass the hospitalization peak seen in July sometime before Jan. 1.

he will do the mask thing, but isn't really much else. Granted he is retired and lives in a rural area, but seems to be going about his business as close to usual as he can.
