Primary tabs

The Arizona Legislature will be closed all next week after at least 15 current or future Republican legislators may have been directly exposed to COVID-19 by meeting with Rudy Giuliani.

Vail, in consultation with state health officials, said that anyone who attended the hearing last week without a mask must quarantine. In addition, people who were in close contact with Giuliani for 15 minutes or more must also quarantine, she said, whether they wore a mask....
