Flagstaff, AZ – The city of Flagstaff announced Friday that Phase 3 of its COVID-19 Reentry Plan will begin Monday, September 14.
Jessica Drum, Public Affairs Director for the City said in a press release yesterday that Flagstaff’s move to begin opening city offices and some park facilities was predicated on several factors.
- number of new cases, hospitalizations and COVID related deaths continuing on a downward trajectory for four or more weeks,
- the demonstrated ability to follow CDC guidelines,
- ability to care for the seriously ill
- and providing testing, monitoring and contact tracing. Under Phase 3, the city will begin a limited reopening of city facilities and amenities. Face coverings are required in city facilities.
The Flagstaff City Hall will reopen with limited hours of 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., Monday through Friday on Sept. 14. The Customer Service Counter will be open to walk-in customers, an appointment is required to meet with other staff, again face masks are required.
