KGUN9 spoke to Senator Martha McSally about the State's preparedness, following the first death from the virus over the weekend. Senator McSally says first and foremost, there is no need to panic. Though she says there is a need to be informed, and with that comes being prepared.
“Don’t panic, but be prepared. Use regular health etiquette. Wash your hands. Cough into your hands or your elbow. If you’re sick stay home,” added McSally.
