The Arizona Public Health Association is advising the public that there is no need to worry about the plague, despite one person in Flagstaff dying from the disease.

A person in northern Arizona died from bubonic (pneumonic) plague, marking Coconino County's first death from the disease since 2007.

Coconino County has confirmed its first human death from the plague in nearly two decades. Health officials say a Coconino County resident has died from pneumonic plague — a rare but serious lung infection.

Public health officials in Arizona have confirmed that a human in the state has died from pneumonic plague, a severe lung infection caused by the same bacterium that caused the Black Death.

An Arizona resident has died from the plague as officials were probing whether a prairie dog die-off in the area was also tied to the lethal illness.

The review period allows for the public to go over the goals and policies while ensuring the plan reflects the community's values and vision for the future.
