San Luis Mayor Gerardo Sánchez personally justifies reinstating mask mandate CBS 13's April Hettinger sits down with the mayor who cites his own COVID hospitalization experience SAN LUIS, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Gov. Doug Ducey doesn't allow city-wide mask mandates in Arizona; however, there's nothing stopping cities from requiring masks in their own facilities. San Luis Mayor Gerardo Sanchez was hospitalized last year for more than three weeks after contracting COVID-19. That's why he's now requiring people in city buildings to mask up, so they don't go through the same thing he did. "I also treat patients directly with COVID, and I actually had COVID. I was in the hospital for 22 days, so this is personal," Mayor Sanchez stated. "This is something that, I do not want anyone to go through this."
