Following a controversial decision by Gov. Greg Abbott last week to lift the stateâs mask mandate, at least two Killeen council members believe caution is still called for.
âI plan to continue wearing my mask during the city council meetings and public outings,â Councilwoman Debbie Nash-King said by email Wednesday. âI am doing this to protect myself as well as others.â
Abbott announced his executive order on Tuesday, which lifts the statewide mask mandate in place since July and allows all businesses to open with 100% capacity beginning this Wednesday, The Associated Press reported. County and local authorities as well as business owners may choose to keep the mask requirement in place, following the guidance of health experts.
