Basic Precautions

COVID-19 spreads mainly from person-to-person between people who are in close contact with one another (within 6 feet). This occurs through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

There are effective ways reduce the risk of infection and protect yourself and the people you care about:

  • Get vaccinated.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. 
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Stay at home when you are sick.
  • Avoid close contact (within 6 feet) with others.
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) and immediately throw the tissue in the trash.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
  • Wear masks in public settings when social distancing cannot be maintained.

TOWN FACILITIES

Public Meetings

The Town of Oro Valley has discontinued Zoom meetings and returned to in-person public meetings to include Town Council and all boards and commissions. Residents may either attend in person or they can view/listen to the meeting from home via livestream on the Town’s website. Recordings of those meetings will then be posted to the website for on-demand viewing.

With the exception of Public Hearings, individuals who wish to publicly speak at a meeting must do so in-person by filling out a blue speaker card for a particular agenda item or for Call to the Audience. For agenda items listed as Public Hearings, there is now an option to speak publicly via Zoom if the speaker registers at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting by filling out a “virtual” speaker card. Once a speaker has registered online, they will be provided with additional instructions and a Zoom link on the day of the meeting. The new virtual option also applies to the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of Adjustment, as they are both held in Council Chambers and have Public Hearings. To learn more, click here.
