Manager of Dorothy May s fashion store Julie Roberts said the consensus among store owners and managers on The Strand is that they will continue to have some COVID-19 measures in place when Texas opens to 100% capacity next Wednesday. It s pretty much business as usual except for the cleaning, the guidelines and the mask wearing, Roberts said. And, if we see that the store, especially on the weekend, is starting to look at capacity, we have those numbers in our head, then we ll just stop at the door and say you have to wait until some other people leave.
