Governor Greg Abbott today issued an Executive Order requiring all Texans to wear a face covering over the nose and mouth in public spaces in counties with 20 or more positive COVID-19 cases, with few exceptions. The Governor also issued a proclamation giving mayors and county judges the ability to impose restrictions on some outdoor gatherings of over 10 people, and making it mandatory that, with certain exceptions, people cannot be in groups larger than ten and must maintain six feet of social distancing from others. "Wearing a face covering in public is proven to be one of the most effective ways we have to slow the spread of COVID-19,” said Governor Abbott. “We have the ability to keep businesses open and move our economy forward so that Texans can continue to earn a paycheck, but it requires each of us to do our part to protect one another—and that means wearing a face covering in public spaces. Likewise, large gatherings are a clear contributor to the rise in COVID-19 cases. Restricting the size of groups gatherings will strengthen Texas’ ability to corral this virus and keep Texans safe. We all have a responsibility to slow the spread of COVID-19 and keep our communities safe. If Texans commit to wearing face coverings in public spaces and follow the best health and safety practices, we can both slow the spread of COVID-19 and keep Texas open for business. I urge all Texans to wear a face covering in public, not just for their own health, but for the health of their families, friends, and for all our fellow Texans.”

Limits Certain Businesses And Services With Direct Link To Infections Governor Greg Abbott today issued an executive order limiting certain businesses and services as part of the state’s efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19. This decision comes as the number of people testing positive for COVID-19 and the number of hospitalizations have increased and the positivity rate in Texas increased above 10%, which the Governor previously stated would lead to further preventative action. The targeted, measured directives in the executive order are based on links between certain types of businesses and services and the recent rise in positive cases throughout the state.

Local government officials are regularly communicating in an effort to adjust the COVID-19 disaster declaration requirements. Despite having one very unfortunate COVID-19 related death, countywide cooperation with the declarations has significantly flattened the projected curve. In this light, I am loosening some restrictions in three areas of my latest order. However, should we have an increase in positive test results or other indication that COVID-19 cases are increasing, actions will be taken to reduce that threat to the public. (1.) Section 7eXX Real Estate is being significantly modified as real estate is an essential service. Real Estate services will essentially return to normal with the expectation that these businesses will do as many transactions electronically possible. Before properties are shown in person to no more than five (5) people total in the property. It will be sanitized before and after in the commonly touched areas. All participants must wear a cloth face covering and gloves. Neither private sellers, agents nor property managers may conduct an in-person open house. (2.) Section 7eXXIX Golf Courses will remain under the same conditions except players now may be as close as six (6) feet, one only in a cart and no more than three (3) players coming off the same tee box. Normal playing distances between groups will be maintained. (3.) Section 7eXXX Plant Nurseries and Box Stores. These stores may operate while complying with social distancing requirements of the declaration and no more than 50% occupancy. The Wichita County Judge’s Order is immediately operational. Cities, having adopted more stringent orders, may take action to revise their orders. The complete County order with annexes is attached.
