Arizona Governor Doug Ducey has ended the statewide mandate requiring students and school employees to wear face masks on campus.

However, the state will allow individual school districts to decide whether they want to continue with COVID safety precautions, including face masks.

“Nearly 2 million Arizonans are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, with many teachers and school faculty now fully vaccinated after being some of the first in line for vaccine prioritization,” Ducey said in aMonday. “Teachers, families and students have acted responsibly to mitigate the spread of the virus and protect one another, and our school leaders are ready to decide if masks should be required on their campuses.

Ducey’s executive order rescinds an order put in place last July. He emphasized that his new order was “in alignment” with CDC guidance. Cara Christ, director of the state health department, recommended people continue to get vaccinated.
