Governor’s Office Rescinds Capacity Limits for Businesses

On March 5, 2021, Governor Doug Ducey issued an executive order lifting the capacity limits for Arizona businesses. The limits were initially set in place by the Governor in a series of executive orders and emergency measures issued last year which included Executive Order 2020-47 Reducing the Risk, Slowing the Spread. The executive order clarifies that all other mitigation measures required by the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) remain in effect including mask wearing and physical distancing. Moreover, Governor Ducey ordered that all businesses continue to promote a number of mitigation measures including regular cleaning, limits on indoor congregations, and the use of protective equipment.

The executive order also specified that Spring Training and Major League Sports must submit plans to ADHS demonstrating an intent to use mitigation measures and safety precautions.
