PHOENIX—Arizona’s governor ordered bars, nightclubs, and water parks to close again for at least a month starting at night on Monday— as coronavirus cases surge in the Sunbelt.

Republican Gov. Doug Ducey also ordered public schools to delay the start of the classes at least until Aug. 17. Many districts planned to start the school year in late July or early August. His orders can be extended.
