2021-2022 School Year

The Pima County Health Department, in an effort to protect students returning to school, issued a standing order on July 30 that specifies the requirements that schools and students must take regarding actual and suspected COVID-19 cases.

Read the PIMA COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT SANITARY MEASURE 2022-01 (dated 1/10/2022)

We also have updated K-12 guidance (7/28/2021) for the 2021-2022 school year. It aligns with CDC's. 



New variants of COVID-19 are more contagious for children. Mitigation practices are still critical to keep our children healthy. Pima County co-authored a study published Sept. 24 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that shows universal mask wearing in Arizona K-12 schools considerably reduces the likelihood of a school-associated COVID-19 outbreak.



What is an “outbreak”?

An outbreak is two or more laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases among students or staff with onsets within a 14-day period, who are epidemiologically linked, do not share a household, and were not identified as close contacts of each other in another setting.
