What’s Open?
On March 25, 2021, Arizona’s governor allowed all businesses to resume normal operations, including hotels, restaurants, bars and attractions. Many continue to follow public health recommendations, though the protocols may vary by business. Please contact individual businesses directly if you would like detailed information on their efforts to protect you and other guests.

Airport Safety Protocols
Your health is the highest priority at Scottdale-area airports, from the moment you land until you depart for home. Round-the-clock cleaning and sanitation protocols and social distancing markers are just a few of the steps our airports are taking to keep travelers safe.

Tourism Mobile

Travel Requirements
There are no travel restrictions or quarantine requirements in Arizona. Pre-departure testing is no longer required, but non-U.S. citizens visiting the U.S. must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 unless they meet criteria for an exception. International travelers can use the CDC Travel Assessment to prepare for travel.

Covid Test

COVID-19 Testing
If you are in need of a COVID-19 test while in Scottsdale, most pharmacies and grocery stores offer free testing; the Arizona Department of Health Services maintains a list of such sites. The city of Scottsdale has information on additional sites throughout the city. Embry Health and Neighborhood Outreach Access to Health also provide free testing.
