City of port Lauaca issued the following announcement on April 28
NO it did not. Executive Order GA-18 has similar stay home/work home language as previous orders:
“In accordance with guidance from DSHS Commissioner Dr. Hellerstedt, and to achieve the goals established by the President to reduce the spread of COVID-19, every person in Texas shall, except where necessary to provide or obtain essential services or reopened services, minimize social gatherings and minimize in-person contact with people who are not in the same household. People over the age of 65, however, are strongly encouraged to stay at home as much as possible; to maintain appropriate distance from any member of the household who has been out of the residence in the previous 14 days; and, if leaving the home, to implement social distancing and to practice good hygiene, environmental cleanliness, and sanitation.”
In other words Texans should stay home/work home, unless (while following DSHS/CDC prevention guidelines):
-Accessing essential businesses (as defined by TDEM and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security).
-Starting on May 1, accessing “re-opened services” as listed in the order.
In addition, the order allows (while following DSHS/CDC prevention guidelines):
-Attending religious services according to attorney general’s guidelines.
-Participating in “essential daily activities,” such as going to the grocery store or gas station, providing or obtaining other essential or re-opened services, visiting parks, hunting or fishing, or engaging in physical activity like jogging, bicycling, or other outdoor sports.
