EXECUTIVE ORDER GA-34
Gov. Abbott's
latest executive order went into effect on March 10. This order rescinds most of the Governor's earlier executive orders related to COVID-19. Here are some key points:
- Statewide requirement of face coverings has been rescinded.
- Individuals are strongly encouraged to continue wearing masks indoors when adequate physical distancing is not possible.
- All businesses of any type may open to 100% capacity.
- Businesses and other establishments may still limit capacity and require employees/visitors to wear face coverings as well as other safety protocols at their own discretion.
- If COVID-19 hospitalizations get above 15% of the hospital bed capacity in a region for seven consecutive days – a county judge is the only elected official who may prescribe mitigation strategies such as requiring businesses to go as low as 50% occupancy, but no mask requirement
City of College Station staff will continue to wear face coverings, practice social distancing, and wash/sanitize hands frequently. Visitors to our facilities are encouraged to do the same.
