The CDC Now Recommends Using Face Coverings to Help Slow the Spread of COVID-19
The CDC is now recommending that everyone wear cloth masks in situations where social distancing is difficult (i.e. in grocery stores, pharmacies, etc.)
Wearing masks will help reduce spread from non-symptomatic people who are infected and not aware.
Here is the advice of the CDC.
CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies) especially in areas of significant community-based transmission.
Below you will find information on how to create a face covering at home, as well as best practices for wearing and caring for your face mask.

“I understand that this is a very stressful time, especially for those suffering direct effects from this public health crisis, and my office is committed to helping any way we can,” said Sarah Benatar, Coconino County Treasurer. “Ensuring the health, safety and economic tranquility of our citizens is of the utmost importance. All 15 County Treasurers stand together in our commitment to help in any way we can and urge our Governor and Legislature to take immediate action in extending the May 1 property tax delinquency deadline to June 1.”
The second half of 2019 annual property taxes are due by May 1. Any payments received after May 1 are considered delinquent. Counties do not have the legal authority to extend the delinquency date.
