Comal Countyâs mandatory protections against the spread of COVID-19 will become only recommended protocols for county departments after the governorâs latest orders went into effect.
Gov. Greg Abbottâs Executive Order GA-34 cancels mandatory masks of Texans and resumes 100% business occupancy â including bars and restaurants â today. Comal County Judge Sherman Krause said the county âwill make sure weâre in compliance with GA-34 and do the same things the governor has listed, in that order.â
New Braunfels City Council on Monday voted to operate city facilities at 100% occupancy and require the use of face coverings by the public when social distancing is not feasible. Krause said elected officials are deciding protocols for their departments, which he admitted might differ based on the numbers of employees and visitors.
