PHOENIX - Arizona health officials are reporting 279 new coronavirus cases and no new deaths.

It’s the second consecutive Monday with no reported deaths, which likely reflects a reporting delay over the weekend.

Meanwhile, Gov. Doug Ducey’s restrictions on businesses began to ease Monday as small retailers deemed nonessential were allowed to open for curbside service. Those businesses will be allowed to welcome customers inside starting Friday with social distancing and cleaning protocols.

For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks.

For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia, and death.

The vast majority of people recover.

What you can still often do during a stay at home order

Here is what is most likely allowed during a stay at home order.

In order to protect yourself from a possible infection, the CDC recommends: 

  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  • Stay home when you are sick.
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
