Youth sports, schools to reopen in Arizona

Ducey announced the reopening of schools even as the state sees an uptick in metrics used to track the progression of the disease, including the portion of tests that are positive and the portion of emergency room visits that are for COVID-19 symptoms.

PHOENIX - Gov. Doug Ducey announced Thursday that schools across Arizona will resume in the Fall.

According to Gov. Ducey, state education officials will release guidelines for resuming classes on June 1. In addition, Ducey announced that summer schools and day camps can take place during the summer.

The announcement was made during a news conference on May 28, which took place about two weeks after Arizona's stay-at-home order expired. The order, which was put in place amid the coronavirus pandemic, took effect on March 31, and was subsequently extended to May 15.

During the news conference, Gov. Ducey, in response to a reporter's question, said the state is still in Phase One of the reopening phases.
