Austin-Travis County residents have done a remarkable job at flattening the curve of COVID-19 transmissions in central Texas and we need to ensure this concerted community effort continues. There are still a number of measures the community is strongly encouraged to take as we work with industry leaders to identify a plan to reopen businesses and kick-start events safely: Maintaining physical distancing; regular hand washing; wearing cloth face coverings when out in public; helping protect those who are at highest risk; and, minimizing social gatherings and in-person contact with people from other households.
