Watch: Governor’s coronavirus news briefing for March 13

Gov. Mike Dunleavy and public health officials held a news conference Friday to discuss preparation and response to the coronavirus.

The governor announced the first public health mandates related to the coronavirus.

Beginning Monday until March 30, all school days at K-12 public schools “will be non-student contact days in which students will not be attending schools.” After-school activities will also be suspended. But staff will still go to schools.

Dunleavy’s announcement also came with several access restrictions to state facilities. The public health mandate is available here.
