. The president’s guidelines include instructing sick people to stay at home, maintaining appropriate distance between people, practicing good hygiene, and frequently sanitizing shared spaces and high-touch surfaces.
Citing detailed guidance from the CDC, Abbott's and Paxton’s guidance also states that some houses of worship"must" avoid large gatherings“Texas is a big state and the transmission rate of COVID-19 varies in different communities,” the joint guidance explains. “If a community is experiencing substantial community spread of COVID-19, then the houses of worship in that community should cancel all in-person gatherings of any size,” the document also says.
“I was surprised, just because there’s such a need for big groups not to gather, and because houses of worship seem to be doing such a really good job of handling services remotely,” Austin Mayor Steve Adler
He is an idiot...
Glad our Mayor and county judge had better sense . This was our City ordinance prior to this.
Texas is running A bit behind other states, so yes lets add religious services to the essential list and bring our numbers up. Whats a few hundred more deaths?
The church's need money? COM'ON Man!
Sorry usa sure don’t need your atheistic humanist viewpoint on “religion” to know how important Church is to so many people “Where 2 or more are gathered in My Name there I will be” is all anybody needs to hear
This is good news
All you people who hate Christianity, how about getting the details...I live in Texas and work at a church. We still can't hold full services. It's simply saying the workers are allowed to go to the church the people in the media department, the band, and set up to stream it
At least we know where the spread of the virus will be.
Just what Satan wants you to do, go to church so you will die. Seems like tRUMPicans are wanting to do Satan's will - kill off the Christians.
How dare you ignore the laws of Separation of church and State.
To God be the Glory.Especially as such a time as this when Jesus died and ressurected for our sins and to overcome all sickness and disease like Corona.We just need to call upon the Name of Jesus and unite in prayer as Christians and we can overcome this virus.
He is an idiot.. clearly he has no clue what he is dealing with. Prepare the body bags..
Governor is going to expose religious folks to coronavirus. Hope people will remain at home 🦠😱‼️
It is essential of course but online and/or drive-in services seem to be working well.
👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thinning the herd.
I can’t wait for the photos of the packed Texas churches to start coming out. The stories of the now infected congregations will soon follow. Proof that GregAbbott_TX only cares about himself.
May the essential services double for those they may have to morn and bury.
Stupidity.
God bless Texas.
Cultists beware.
Idiot
Tax exempt grifters can only profit onsite. Otherwise they look like Email princes asking for bank accounts.
After the pandemic is over the US SUPREME COURT should sit down and discuss as to how to remove the President of USA in case he goes senile ...,., and I hope it is not too late then , for the USA and the World
Do you have a problem with that?
Welcome to Texas. smh
Good luck with that.
Thoughts and prayers.
