(CNN) In late June, Arizona was confronting a dramatic rise in Covid-19 cases, forcing officials to reimpose a slew of coronavirus restrictions about two months after the state started reopening its economy. "We saw in Arizona, which was a good example, they went up (in cases) and they started to really clamp down and do things right. Of course, while things are improving, the state -- like the rest of the country -- is not in the clear. Arizona first started lifting stay-at-home restrictions in early May, with Ducey saying that cases were declining and that "Arizona is heading in the right direction." A few days later, on July 9, Ducey took another step back, limiting indoor dining to 50% capacity before things started looking up.
