Texas will allow its coronavirus stay-at-home order to expire and begin re-opening businesses including restaurants and retail stores in phases beginning on Friday, state Governor Greg Abbott said.

The first business reopenings will require safe practices including limiting the number of people allowed into stores, movie theaters and malls to 25% of their licensed capacity, Abbott said on Monday. A second phase of openings could begin two weeks later.

The second phase of the openings will depend on the status of the outbreak in Texas over coming days. If infection rates continue to decline, the state could allow up to 50% capacity limits on May 18.

Everyone who wants to work is happy, and the people who want to stay home are free to stay home !

Full blown stupidity.

This is just crazy! In Belgium we went into lockdown 1,5 weeks before quS and are scheduled to have SOME shops opened by May 4th! This is crazy!

Regardless of opening. Texans make sure to continue washing hands, wearing masks, social distance and limit crowds. This is based on S.Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore.

I will stay at home while the brave? do the testing. Thank you for being my ginny pig

Texas in the next month ...

Because Texas now rivals Oklahoma for most stupid governor in the USA. I can say that, living in OK and having lived in TX. And if i could go far away from both, I would.

Amen!!!!

Stay home! Stop the spread! StopCovid19

Too soon to reopen. StayHome

I live in EastTX and I will be staying home as much as possible. People here haven't been following the guidelines well at all and now this! Idiots.

As the lieutenant governor of Texas says, there are 'more important things than living.”
