Arizona Sets Up Coronavirus Hotline For Information

PHOENIX, AZ — Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey announced the launch of a statewide coronavirus hotline on Sunday, according to a release from the governor's office. The hotline offers answers to questions and concerns from Arizona residents over the coronavirus.

"As we continue to combat COVID-19 in Arizona, we want to ensure the public has access to resources needed to stay safe and healthy," Ducey said. Residents can dial 2-1-1 to access the hotline.

Named the COVID-19 Hotline, the project came from $2 million in funding from the Arizona Department of Economic Security.

The project is the product of a partnership between 2-1-1 Arizona, the Crisis Response Network, the Governor’s Office, the Arizona Department of Economic Security and the Arizona Department of Health Services.

Justin Chase, president and CEO of the Crisis Response Network, said in the release he is "deeply honored" by state authorities having them partner together to create the hotline. "With calls coming through our 2-1-1 Arizona program, we look forward to fulfilling our company’s mission of inspiring hope in those we serve during these trying times," Chase said.

According to the release, Arizona residents can call to get information like:

• How to prepare for and prevent COVID-19 spread,
• Testing information for COVID-19,
• What populations are at higher risk from the COVID-19,
• What to do if an individual gets sick,
• COVID-19 and animals,
• And a list of websites with accurate, reliable and up-to-date information.

Anybody located in Arizona can call between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. every day.
