On March 5, 2021, Arizona’s COVID-19 Reopening Phase 3 began. The state is the sixth largest in size of the United States 50 states and about the same size as Italy. The 30-month longitudinal study examined changes in the number of new COVID-19 cases, hospitalized cases, and deaths. There were increases of 1,678,981 COVID-19 cases, 84,409 case hospitalizations, and 17,498 deaths during the study period. Even with the five case surges, the new normal was low number of severe cases, manageable hospitalization numbers, and low number of deaths. At the end of the 30 months of the reopening, Arizona is in the endemic phase of COVID-19.
