On Wednesday afternoon, in a much anticipated press conference, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey announced that as the stay-at-home order expiration was quickly approaching, he’d wait until next week to decide whether to alter the order. Ducey said he has three options to weigh: let the order expire, extend it in its current form or modify and improve it. He referred to the process as a dimmer light switch. The process will involve looking at all aspects and slowly allowing business to return to normal in a step by step process.

Step one will be in effect next week as Gov. Ducey did announce that he will lift the ban on elective surgeries effective May 1.
