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 Arizonas COVID Modeling Team sent a letter Friday to the Arizona Department of Health Services.
Researchers foresee a hospital crisis with the states 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 arent taken.
If trends continue, the research team projects Arizona will surpass the hospitalization peak seen in July sometime before Jan. 1.
