@AustinTexasGov and @TravisCountyTx issued new orders moments ago that align with State restrictions, stressing staying at home is safest. They also clarify guidelines around places where 10 people or more gather – such as workplaces. More here: bit.ly/2xXrxwN
These new orders also further define agencies considered “critical infrastructure”. In addition, @AustinTexasGov issued guidance earlier today to help individuals better monitor their health and body temperature. More information here: bit.ly/2x9rrlf #Covid19

A number of control orders and emergency rules have been introduced to help #flattenthecurve . They range from additional sanitation requirements to restrictions on bars & restaurants to bans on social gatherings.
There are certain critical facilities, however, that are exempt – including hospitals, airports, grocery stores, and more. Social distancing is strongly recommended in these spaces. More can be found via the @AustinTexasGov website: austintexas.gov/covid19
Information continues to be updated around the clock on the City of #Austin website regarding #Covid19 for businesses, individuals, families and more: austintexas.gov/covid19 . For those with further questions, please call 311 or 512-974-2000
If you feel unwell, please contact your health provider before going to a clinic, urgent care, or ER. If you feel you may be sick, more information can be found here: bit.ly/3a6qybS #Covid19
It is important to highlight – make sure your social distancing does not become social isolation. Keep in touch with friends, family, and neighbors. Collectively and individually – we will get through this. #Covid19 (9/9)
