Ducey: Arizona salons and barbershops can reopen May 8; restaurants can start dine-in service May 11

Remember when Arizona's Governor abandoned the plan for a phased reopening and accelerates the opening to coincide with Trump's visit to the State to tour a mask company? Well, I wonder whether AZ's governor thinks the optics were worth it?

Gov. Doug Ducey on Monday accelerated his phased reopening plan for Arizona, saying expanded testing and declines in reported COVID- and flu-like illnesses had provided "a green light to make additional decisions for our first step forward."

Barbershops and salons can resume hair, nail, waxing and other services by appointment Friday if they limit occupancy, implement social distancing measures, up sanitation protocols and provide cloth masks to employees, the governor said.

On Monday, restaurants and coffee shops can start offering dine-in service. They must also limit occupancy and physically distance diners, in addition to checking employees for COVID-19 symptoms before their shifts.

We're making decisions with the confidence that we are going in the right direction," Ducey said during an afternoon press briefing, adding that Arizonans should expect an announcement on fitness centers and swimming pools soon.
