No ‘shelter in place’ yet for Hays County

Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra stopped short of ordering residents to shelter in place on Tuesday; instead directing law enforcement to step up their efforts to enforce the Local Disaster Declaration that went into effect March 15.

Among other actions, that order limited gatherings to 10 or fewer people and closed the doors of businesses that provide child care.

On another front related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the county’s Chief of Staff Alex Villalobos told the commissioners court that the first county resident confirmed to have the disease has recovered.
