Gov. Doug Ducey has made his decision on Arizona's stay-at-home order, which expires Friday, May 1.

Ducey says he has decided to extended a modified version of the order through May 15. He also said the state's travel restrictions on some areas of the country will be extended through that date as well.


Watch Gov. Ducey's live announcement in the player below:

Ducey first announced the "Stay Home, Stay Healthy, Stay Connected" order on March 30, which lasts the entire month of April.

That initial order says Arizonans "shall limit their time away from their place of residence or property except to:"
  • To conduct or participate in essential activities, and/or;
  • For employment, to volunteer or participate in essential functions; or
  • To utilize any services or products provided by essential business services;
  • And for employment if as a sole proprietor or family owned business, work is conducted in a separate office space from your home and the business is not open to serve the public.
Initially, the governor's guidelines deemed personal care businesses like salons and spas as "essential," though the governor later forced them to close as well.
