Operative words
Indoor gyms and fitness clubs or centers, indoor movie theaters, waters parks and tubing operators, and bars shall remain closed as required under Executive Order 2020-43, as extended by Executive Order 2020-52, and as may be further extended unless (a) they meet, on an individual basis, the terms and conditions for reopening described herein or (b) they apply to ADHS for approval to reopen... ADHS is, for each Arizona county, categorizing the COVID-19 risk as 'Substantial,' 'Moderate,' or 'Minimal.'... The Benchmarks must be met for 14 consecutive days to move from a higher transmission category to a lower one... 5. If a closed business is located in a county that does not meet the community transmission metrics in the Moderate or Minimal category (i.e., the county transmission category is Substantial), the business must remain closed.
