Dated June 20, 2020: Update on the City of Globe’s COVID-19 Response

The City of Globe intends to hold steady and maintain all Covid -19 protections for the month of June. We will continue to limit public access to the Library, Museum, City Hall, and Active Adult Center. Our playing fields and parks remain open but mask restrictions are in place. We will not be issuing any special events permits or allowing organized leagues to play at the Community Center until we can safely lift restrictions. Globe City Council meetings are currently being held virtually and will continue to broadcasted on YouTube. Every indication is that this will continue through July or until deemed safe by the Council.

As we move forward, City staff continues to meet on a daily basis to manage our response to the COVID -19 pandemic both internally and externally. Our highest priority is the safety of our residents and our staff. We will work internally and with our regional partners to monitor conditions and respond to developments in order to return to normal operations.
