New limits for restaurants
Gov. Doug Ducey is ordering restaurants to work at half of their capacity, but he has declined to shut them down entirely as authorities seek to control a strong coronavirus outbreak that has doubled the daily case count in two weeks.
The governor also said the state will increase testing with a focus on lowincome areas of Phoenix as many people report it hard or impossible to find tests.
Arizona continues to report record highs for hospitalizations and use of ventilators. After a drop in the number of new cases in the early part of the week, they shot back above 4,200 on Friday.
