TUCSON (KVOA) - Pima County Health Department has recommended for the county to lift its voluntary curfew on Thursday shortly after Gov. Doug Ducey issued an executive order easing the state s COVID-19 mitigation measures.
After approving a voluntary curfew on Nov. 23, Pima County implemented a county-wide mandatory curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. daily. That day, the Pima County Board of Supervisors decided that the curfew will be lifted once cases are below 100 per 100,000 people.
In response, several local businesses including Union House, Reforma and the Cobra Arcade filed a lawsuit against Pima County and the Pima County Board of Supervisors in January, claiming the curfew was unlawful and discriminatory. On Jan. 20, a judge granted a preliminary injunction to the bar owners, forcing the county to switch the curfew back to a voluntary curfew.

A judge on Tuesday put the brakes on Pima Countyâs mandatory 10 p.m. curfew, saying it violated an Executive Order from Gov. Doug Ducey.

Sharon Bronson, chair of the county Board of Supervisors, said in a statement Wednesday that they are disappointed with the decision and asked for voluntary compliance.
