Downtown businesses continue enforcing mask policies (Lisa Diethelm/DD) The state of Arizona is starting to open up after a year of restrictions and local businesses are continuing to push through, but not without safety protocols still in place. After Gov. Ducey’s order to phase out all mask mandates on March 25, there are still a few cities and counties that continue with mandates including Pima County, Flagstaff, Tucson, and most recently Phoenix. Businesses and restaurants have also opted to continue enforcing masks and social distancing despite the governor’s orders. Rachel Mallory is the owner of Bunky Boutique and said that her business is still requiring masks, at least until all of her staff is fully vaccinated.
