At this time [February 26, 2022] the protocol recommendations that follow below are largely at the discretion of the Pastor or Parish Administrator. In turn, those in leadership are strongly recommended to check with their local county health department for current COVID-19 recommendations.

The Diocese of Tucson has followed the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Covid-19 guidelines from the beginning of the pandemic. I am pleased that the CDC has recently determined that quarantine is required only for those who test positive or otherwise exhibit symptoms of Covid-19. It is great news that quarantine is no longer required for those who only have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for the virus.
At this time, the pastors of the Diocese of Tucson enjoy the authority to determine the best approach for general safety in their parishes. We remain committed to reasonable vigilance in light of the vulnerable population that is a highly valued part of our membership.
