Sheriff Mark Lamb who went against the lockdown order when the governor of Arizona, Doug Ducey, wanted to extend it, has tested positive for coronavirus.
In early May, the police chief said that “the numbers don’t justify the actions anymore”, adding that “three hundred deaths” is not a reason enough to shut down the economy, CNN reports.
He said that he would talk to people, especially those near Phoenix, about following the order, but he would not "criminally" enforce it.
