COCONINO COUNTY LIFTS MASK MANDATE

During this week’s meeting, the Coconino County Board of Supervisors lifted its Face Covering Proclamation effective June 1, 2021. The rescission of the Proclamation results in masks no longer being required in indoor and outdoor settings in Coconino County. Read more online. In addition to lifting the mask requirement, Coconino County aims to fully reopen County buildings on July 1.
