Overnight and this morning we are experiencing the last remnants of Tropical Storm #Beta. It has cleared the area & emergency operations for the city have been deactivated.
Some of the bayous are still full & streets are wet. So, I ask people to be careful this morning. 1/5

#Thread: Yesterday for the 1st time, #Houston reported 1000+ positive #COVID19 cases in a single day. There is still severe & uncontrolled spread of #COVID_19 in our community & between families, friends & neighbors. I call on the State RPT to cancel its convention & go virtual. 
Many sponsors have withdrawn support & @GHPartnership has asked the party to cancel the GOP convention. I am calling on the leadership to do the right thing in the interest of public safety & health.

@HoustonHealth’s Dr. Persse sent a letter explaining that the GOP convention is a "clear and present danger" to all #Houstonians. To read a copy of the letter visit houstontx.gov/govtrelations/…
I am aware of the 2 confirmed cases of #COVID19 in unincorporated North West Harris County. While people need to remain vigilant, there is currently no need for average Houstonains to take out-of-the-ordinary protective actions. (1/5)
I encourage all #Houstonians to continue enjoying our wonderful city. For example, we had a fantastic lunch today in #Asiatown at Ocean Palace Restaurant. I treated about 50 City of Houston employees including executive staff to some great family-style Chinese food. (2/5)
It was a great opportunity to leave City Hall and support local restaurants that have experienced a decline in business because of fear and anxiousness surrounding #coronavirus rumors. (3/5)
Today was the 3rd Annual Mayor’s History Makers Awards Luncheon presented by @ComcastHouston. These awards are an opportunity to recognize #Houstonians who have made contributions to the community by dedicating their time, talent & resources to improve the lives of others. 1/3
I want to thank @comcast for creating this exceptional event to celebrate diversity & Black History. This is a great way to celebrate the end of #BlackHistoryMonth. This year we recognize 6 History Makers & a Mayor’s History Makers Living Legend Award recipient. 2/3
Congratulations to the Mayor’s History Makers Award honorees.

Tomorrow night for the 36th year, thousands of citizens will step out of their homes to meet their neighbors & renew their commitment to public safety. Mayor Turner encourages #Houstonians to participate in #NationalNightOut in memory of fallen #HCSO Deputy #SandeepDhaliwal.
@HoustonTX @houstonpolice @HCSOTexas "As Mayor of this City, I encourage each of you to step outdoors & meet your neighbors. After the introduction, you will no longer be a stranger & a connection will begin. This connection can lead to unifying neighborhoods, streets, subdivisions, and communities against crime."
@HoustonTX @houstonpolice @HCSOTexas "Your neighbors can become your allies against crime and together we will be able to improve the quality of life in our city."
