Tempe Updates
Mask Guidelines in Tempe: Effective May 21, 2021, the City of Tempe no longer requires face coverings in public spaces, though masks are recommended for unvaccinated individuals. Masks are strongly advised for vulnerable groups, such as unvaccinated children and the immune-compromised. Businesses may still enforce mask requirements. Face coverings remain mandatory on public transit (federal order) and at Tempe Municipal Court (Arizona Supreme Court order). Read the full proclamation.
