This page is dedicated to identifying resources to assist residents during the Coronavirus outbreak.

Cloth Face Covering

Executive Order (GA-34) lifts the mask mandate in Texas on Wednesday, March 10, 2021.

"Make no mistake, COVID-19 has not disappeared," said Governor Abbot, "but it is clear from the recoveries, vaccinations, reduced hospitalizations, and safe practices that Texans are using that state mandates are no longer needed. The March 2, 2021, announcement "does not abandon safe practices that Texans have mastered over the past year. Instead, it is a reminder that each person has a role to play in their own personal safety and the safety of others."

“We are not defenseless against COVID-19,” said CDC Director Dr. Robert R. Redfield. “Cloth face coverings are one of the most powerful weapons we have to slow and stop the spread of the virus – particularly when used universally within a community setting.” Follow this link for more information.
