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)

Practice good hygiene. Wash your hands and use hand sanitizer. If you are uncomfortable with shaking hands, give a fist bump or use your elbow. Cover coughs and sneezes, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, and stay home if you feel ill. (4/5)
