COVID-19 Visit Tucson Updates
COVID-19 Information and Resources for Travelers
Please Note: Facemasks are required in Tucson and Pima County for adults and children over the age of five years when physical distancing is not possible. For complete details, visit the Pima County website.
Visit Tucson is committed to providing visitors with accurate information about traveling to our city safely. We are working with the City of Tucson, Pima County, the State of Arizona and local hotels, resorts, and tourism-related businesses to provide updates on how the coronavirus (COVID-19) has impacted travel to Tucson.
Governor Ducey has allowed all Arizona businesses to fully reopen. Not every business is operating at full capacity, so it is important to check with individual businesses to confirm they are open and what steps they’ve taken to ensure cleanliness and safety, if this is a priority for you.
Private events, such as meetings are allowed as long as physical distancing and other CDC guidelines are met. More information can be found here.
The Arizona Department of Health Services has provided guidance to a variety of business types including restaurants, malls and pools. For more information click here. For enhanced Pima County guidelines, please click here.
