On Monday, Bexar County’s Judge Nelson Wolff once again extended his COVID-19 executive order, this time all the way to October 28th.
For employers in San Antonio and Bexar County, the most notable provision was one extending the requirement that commercial entities providing services directly to the public have a health and safety policy that makes employees and visitors wear face coverings when it is not feasible to maintain six feet of social distancing.
The executive order specifically cited provisions in Governor Greg Abbott’s latest executive orders, the latest one being GA-30 on September 17th, which was notable for extending capacity of stores, restaurants, and other establishments to 75% beginning September 21st, the date of Judge Wolff’s latest order.
The order also continued requirements offering face masks for those over ten years of age and continued to restrict gatherings of over 10 persons, and called a temporary halt in evictions in accordance with the CDC.
For a peak into the future of Judge Wolff’s executive orders on COVID-19, keep an eye on Bexar County’s daily statistics on new cases, the positivity rate of tests, the number of deaths, and the number of hospitalizations for COVID. Otherwise, watch this space!
