LIST: Tucson-area cancellations, closures due to coronavirus

Fair time should be a fun time and never a time for fear. Public safety and wellness have always been and will always remain our priority.

The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) has created much confusion with numerous and everchanging guidelines resulting in the closing of events and event venues. Governor Ducey’s recommendation last week of eliminating gatherings of 50 people or more for an 8-week period, includes the Pima County Fair, scheduled April 16 – 26th.

The necessary actions taken by the Pima County Board of Supervisors Thursday, March 19, 2020, includes new restrictions outlined in the State of Emergency Proclamation that render it impossible to proceed with the Pima County Fair.

Not being able to bring this great tradition to Tucson and surrounding communities is disappointing The Pima County Fair impacts our local economy with over $36 million per year. The annual fair food drive provides 80,000 meals to the hungry. These losses, combined with the loss of proceeds from the 4-H livestock auction, will be certain to cause local financial ripples and waves in the months to come.

Like other events facing cancellation, the financial impact negatively affects many to include; vendors, exhibitors, sponsors, rodeo athletes, feed and bedding providers, service providers, entertainers, medic and security staffing, rental companies, along with hundreds of hourly workers who count on the fair for income to provide for their families.

The Covid-19 virus affects us all. It is our most sincere hope that we all remain healthy and that those who are currently ill, become well again soon. Our hearts go out to the lives lost thus far to Covid-19. We encourage our community and employees to be responsible and help mitigate further spread of the virus by following recommendations of the CDC. In these troubling times, we encourage our employees and community to be of help to neighbors and vulnerable groups. We encourage our employees as well as our community to remain calm and be creative in finding ways to get keep our community economically stable.

Simon, announced that after extensive discussions with federal, state and local officials and in recognition of the need to address the spread of COVID-19, Simon will close all of its retail properties, including Malls, Premium Outlets and Mills in the U.S. This measure will take effect from 7 pm local time today and will end on March 29.

United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona announced today the immediate but temporary closures of its local sites where free tax preparation service are provided for those who earned less than $66,000 last year. With plans to re-open its Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites on April 6, the organization announced the creation of Get Your Refund, a new and secure online option for eligible taxpayers to complete and file their returns.



Tony Penn, president and CEO of United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona issued the following statement:



“We have good news. Taxpayers can still get their tax returns completed from the comfort and safety of their homes by using the new Get Your Refund online intake at getyourrefund.org [getyourrefund.org] – a partnership between United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona, Code for America, and other VITA organizations. This option also offers a significant amount of customer support to help walk taxpayers through this online process.”



“At United Way, we understand the importance of free tax preparation services to members of our community who earn less than $66,000 per year. Since 2004, we’ve provided that service through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program to ensure that eligible individuals and families have access to the Earned Income Tax Credit and other credits that help boost refunds and recover income. We also understand that, during this national health crisis, many workers, especially those without paid sick leave, are facing the challenge of making ends meet. Those individuals need their tax refunds now more than ever, and while we have a responsibility to serve our community, the best way to do that is to put public health first. In that spirit, our in-person tax sites will close until April 6 in an effort to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and ‘flatten the curve.’”

In consultation with City of Tucson officials and following the lead of state and local health officials, Reid Park Zoo has made the decision to temporarily close to the public starting Wednesday, March 18 through Tuesday, March 31 to further support community efforts to mitigate the potential spread of COVID-19. We are also closing our Asian Lantern Festival and have postponed other scheduled events through April 2020 as listed on our website.

We are taking these steps because our priority is our community – our team members, our guests, and the wider community of Tucson and the entire State of Arizona. We believe a temporary closure is the right thing to do in order to help reduce the impact of the virus in our community.

During this time Casino Del Sol will compensate our team members without requiring them to use their paid time off. We are recommending to team members that while the properties are closed, they should follow the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and public health experts regarding social distancing and avoiding crowds, keeping in mind that that guidance may also change and evolve over time.

The Pascua Yaqui Tribe and Casino Del Sol will continue to closely monitor the situation and will keep you updated on our plans moving forward, should they change.
