As the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, continues to spread across the globe, many cities and states have been forced to take drastic measures to protect their citizens. Scottsdale, Arizona is no exception. In response to the situation surrounding the virus, the Scottsdale City Court has implemented a variety of measures to ensure the safety of its citizens. Everyone entering the courthouse must wear a face covering and must notify the court of any coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms.
The court has also shifted most of its proceedings and services to video, by phone and online. Additionally, businesses related to tribal tourism in Arizona have taken steps to protect their customers and employees. Scottsdale's pre-COVID special event permitting process still applies to event organizers who want to hold events in Scottsdale. However, organizers must adhere to all safety protocols set forth by the city in order to ensure that events are held safely and responsibly.
Despite the challenges posed by COVID-19, Scottsdale still offers advantages that few destinations can match: fresh air, sunny skies and the luxury of space. The city is committed to providing a safe environment for its citizens and visitors alike.
