San Patricio County to Issue Communicable Disease Control Orders
San Patricio County Attorney Tamara Cochran-May has been working closely with Dr. Mobley to create a Communicable Disease Control Order. This Order, to be issued to all individuals who test positive for COVID-19, instructs the individual of the procedures they are required to follow to prevent the introduction, transmission, and spread of COVID-19. If the individual fails to comply with these control measures, they may face criminal prosecution as a Class B misdemeanor and/or civil court proceedings. A Class B misdemeanor is punishable by a fine of up to $2,000, a jail term of up to 180 days, or both.
If you have questions relating to the Communicable Disease Control Order, please contact the County Attorney’s Office at 361-364-9338.
