Next, the County Commissioners Court approved Judge Krebs’ request to continue the Declaration of Local Disaster Order for 30 days and his new Executive Order that extends the Stay Home Work Safe measures until May 4, 2020. Under Judge Krebs’ Executive Order DK-02, all County-owned parks will remain closed and the nightly curfew will remain in place until this Order expires or is terminated. The County’s Exempted Businesses remain those “Essential Services” identified in Governor Abbott’s GA-14 that was issued early April.
Everybody is watching. Former Dallas Cowboy Head Coach Bill Parcells once said, “You are what your record says you are.” We can talk about beating COVID-19 with aggressive social distancing. However, every day and everybody must practice social distancing in order for our community to prevail over COVID-19.
Call 361-201-0551 to reach the Center for COVID-19 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. M-F.
