On Tuesday, the City of Austin extended its Health Authority Rules through May 18, including updates for individuals who are fully vaccinated. These rules are the basis for the city s continued mask requirements.
“As more people become vaccinated in our area, we are able to move to more lenient requirements for those individuals,” said Dr. Mark Escott, Interim Austin-Travis County Health Authority. “However, we have not yet reached herd immunity in our community. To get there, we need more people to acquire immunity, which is why we encourage people to get the vaccine when it is available to them.”
