But the lack of compliance is a real worry for some local healthcare workers who are seeing the effects of the virus firsthand. {{featured_button_text}}A Flagstaff nurse who works closely with COVID-19 positive patients said she was shocked when she recently went up to ski. The nurse, who wanted to remain anonymous because of the hospital’s policies on speaking to the media, said she was “frustrated” by the actions of other guests. Northern Arizona tribal communities have been especially impacted by the virus, and the nurse said she worries places such as Snowbowl are places the virus is spreading in northern Arizona. “These people are, you know, going up to Snowbowl, they're drinking in line, they're smoking cigarettes in line and they're refusing to wear their masks.”
