FLAGSTAFF — During the March 1 Flagstaff City Council meeting, the Council decided to update mask requirements in City facilities to match updated guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), effective Monday, March 7. As the CDC currently lists Coconino County’s community level as “medium”, masks will not be required to be worn indoors at City facilities, upon the effective date.
City facilities that will no longer require a mask for entry include City Hall, the Visitors Center, the Flagstaff Aquaplex, the Hal Jensen Recreation Center, the Jay Lively Ice Arena, the Flagstaff City-Coconino County Public Library downtown location and the East Flagstaff Community Library, among others.
Masks are still required to be worn within the Flagstaff Pulliam Airport, as this facility is governed by requirements from the federal Transportation Security Administration.
Although masking will no longer be required, everyone is encouraged to mask to their comfort and risk level. Individual decisions to mask or not to mask based on individual circumstances should be supported and respected.
