Mask restrictions ease as courts reopen in Bexar County
SAN ANTONIO – Things are slowly getting back to normal at the Cadena Reeves Justice Center as in-person hearings and trials were cleared to begin Tuesday.
There was some confusion though as to whether masks were required or not after a new order was released late last week easing COVID-19 restrictions at the courthouse.
“Those that are not vaccinated still have to maintain six feet between themselves and other individuals and wear face coverings,” administrative Judge Ron Rangel said. “Those that are not vaccinated don’t have to, but we highly recommend that they wear a mask.”
