Update - March 2, 2021:
Governor Gregg Abbott today issued an Executive Order (GA-34). This order rescinds most of the Governor's earlier orders related to COVID-19. Effective next Wednesday (March 10), all businesses of any type may open to 100% capacity. Additionally, this order ends the statewide mask mandate in Texas. Businesses may still limit capacity or implement additional safety protocols at their own discretion.
However, the new covid cases posted on CDC website are still alarming. To slow the spread of the disease, CDC recommends the use of face masks as the first prevention method. In line with CDC guidance, the face masks would remain mandatory until CDC considers it safe without the masks.
Let's each do our part to protect each other and help stop the spread of COVID-19.
