The guidance on this mural in Dallas will apply to most counties in Texas starting Friday, when a new face covering requirement takes effect.The guidance on this mural in Dallas will apply to most counties in Texas starting Friday, when a new face covering requirement takes effect.Gov. Greg Abbott issued anon Thursday requiring Texans to wear face coverings in public in counties with 20 or more COVID-19 cases.
"We have the ability to keep businesses open and move our economy forward so that Texans can continue to earn a paycheck, but it requires each of us to do our part to protect one another — and that means wearing a face covering in public spaces," Abbott said. There are some exceptions, such as for children under age 10 and people with certain medical conditions. Masks are also not required during activities including swimming, eating in a restaurant and exercising outdoors while maintaining distance from non-household members.
A list of counties exempt from the face covering requirement will be maintained on the Texas Division of Emergency Management'sThe order says local officials"can and should" enforce the face covering requirement but prohibits jail time as a penalty for violating it. First-time violators will receive a verbal or written warning, with subsequent violations punishable by a fine of up to $250.
AntiTrumpReport Ummm, this should have been a thing in March.
Creeping authoritarianism
Gov Abbott has awoken from his coma?
No thanks
Why are church services exempted from the mask requirement? What scientific evidence shows that the virus does not spread in houses of worship?
And Greg Abbott’s decision to appease Trump and open the state too early without following the CDC recommended guidelines has resulted in a huge spike in cases and many preventable deaths! I wonder if he feels that his obeying an ignorant fool like Trump was worth all this?
And in the midst of this? Abandonment by the president. I thought he was to 'promote domestic tranquility.' Senator McConnell when will you feel guilty that you blocked impeachment? Urge the president to resign. Urge the party to nominate a non-mad candidate.
who could have known?
gut this fish Send a message to repressive and elitists leaders by charging Trump with CrimesAgainstHumanity
Well...duh. Idiot.
I guess the freedom loving folks can still move to Florida to die! I'm kidding, half of Texas still won't wear s mask.
WTH? No it isn’t. Quit fear mongering. Sheesh. Company tht manufacture tests have had more time to mass produce, that’s obvious. We’re technically in wave 1 still, ykr?! Deaths been knocking for awhile,
Can't say it enough WearADamnMask
And that’s how its gonna be. The good news is the curve was flattened so now there’s a much better chance that the ppl who get the sickest of all might have a better opportunity to get the equip needed for them to live. We planned for this influx, remember The spread was slowed
It should have been a nationwide mandate months ago. Trump's hands drip with the blood of the victims.
'these (spiking case) numbers reveal a very stark reality' says Abbott, as if said stark reality wasn't revealed by any numbers from the past 3 months Now, I don't want to be snarky but we've been presented some non-insignificant evidence that Abbot just learned how charts work
I have no sympathy for TX... TX during shutdown: Look at the numbers! They lied to us. The cases never spiked, so we're reopening! One month later: Quick!! Wear your mask...the people who invested their entire career to health knew what they're talking about Mask Wearers: 🤔
let's open up America lol oh shit the cases are rising
Uh huh
Treatment for COVID-19 is already available. Coronavirus 🦠 Plandemic SayNoToMandatoryVaccines💉

If he'd acted responsibly in the beginning of the crisis Texas wouldn't be in such a horrible position now. There was no need for all this suffering & desth. Just asinine politics.
wear a mask.... that's just what they WANT you to think
it's not complicated folks...
He's fed the narrative of individualism at the price of the community for his entire time in office. Good luck with that.
Here's the problem.
Wear a mask, or the police will kneel on your neck too!
Latest development. Trump will wear mask. But only while visiting the toilet.
So wheelchair guy finally grew up, did he. Miracles can happen.
Finally
Show me the law. Oh wait there isnt one because they know there'll be lawsuits out the wazoo. Next!
He got cuckolded by mother nature what a chode
Can't wait to see how that goes over...😷 (hopefully well)
Look out - There'll be a shoot-out over this at the Walmart BanTravelersFromTexas
Oh my, did it sink in that dam Democratic coronavirus isn’t really Democratic !
too little, too late from the idiot Governors who were following Trump's orders until a few days ago. as a result, several thousand have their citizens are unnecessarily dead.
We have face shields available. The RealShield is easy to clean, adds UV protection, and fits on most hats, visors, & hard hats. Made in the 🇺🇸
Federal government absence in coordinating, financing and insisting on critical steps to manage and limit the Covid virus is shocking. The deaths of thousands is laid at the feet of Donald Trump. Insist on leadership that will protect your life.
So *now* GregAbbott_TX is taking the pandemic seriously? Please. Watching Repubs scramble now that they realize everyone hates them and will be voting them out is something.
Riddle me this ? Mandatory facemasks in public but restaurants are open ? How you supposed to eat with a face mask on ? I'm so baffled by all this.
An hour late and a buck short. One wonders some Texans will comply, or if they will continue being true Trump assholes. Let's back up that order with financial penalties because there are too many assholes out there who will buck the system.
TrumpKillsUS GOPBetrayedAmerica
Fine people who do not comply.
People begged him...
What goes up will come down, but it’s gonna take a bit.
How big of him
The only thing to stop a bad guy with a virus is a good guy with a virus.
Psst...GovRonDeSantis
Wasn’t he boasting about the low number of cases in Texas just the other day ?
Omg. What about their rights? Their rights to live free! Oh man when are the people of Texas going to stand up to this tyrannical Democratic horse shit and impeach their governor? Trump yeah! What’s that? He’s Republican? NEVERMIND
Why wear a face mask if black lives are worthless to the world.
As they say in TX “a day late and a dollar short.”
Death is on his hands. He blamed the younger crowd for his fuck up.
If your mask works, it doesn't matter if I wear one. If you think your vaccination works, it doesn't matter if I'm vaccinated or not. They can say 'my body my choice' for baby murder but not for masks?
Good thing COVID can't travel across county lines
William Barr and Donald Trump are two of the greatest heroes in the history of the world.
About time. A little too late unfortunately.
Too late, Greg.....too fuckin late
