The Town of Oro Valley is continuously assessing the COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation and following the guidance of state and county health officials. Town leaders are also working with local partners and the Pima County Office of Emergency Management to ensure there is a coordinated, regional response to this pandemic.

“This continues to be a very fluid situation with new information coming in every day,” said Town Manager Mary Jacobs. “In the coming days and weeks, there may be additional restrictions or closures of Town recreational facilities, or other non-essential service changes. While those changes could happen very quickly, we will provide community updates as soon as possible. Furthermore, we will approach these difficult decisions with the best interest of the community in mind, and we are committed to the continuation of fair refund policies when needed.”
