🚨#StayHomeWorkSafe order extends to April 30 throughout Harris County including the City of Houston. 🚨

The singular goal is to blunt the force of #COVID19 so it doesn't overwhelm our healthcare system.

🚨 We will be doubling our testing capacity and open a second site at Delmar stadium tomorrow. 250 tests will be provided at each site. It is open to everyone who is experiencing #COVID19 symptoms. You must first be pre-screened before arriving at the testing sites. 🚨

The number of confirmed #COVID19 cases in the City of Houston is now at 377, with 68 new cases reported today.

We expect these numbers to rise as more testing is done.

Impact on City of Houston government:
8 firefighters, 12 police officers, and 18 City employees have tested positive for #COVID19
