Mayor issues emergency order limiting City Park occupancy

On the heels of Governor Greg Abbott’s orders to close bars and reduce restaurant occupancy, the City of Bandera followed suit. Signed today, the emergency order limits occupancy in City Park to no more than 500 people at one time.
Over the last two weekends, more than 1,600 people were in the park each day, despite doubling the admission fee to $10 per person for out-of-county visitors. Today's emergency order expires in seven days, unless renewed.
Abbott announced this morning that in addition to bar closures, tube and river rafting companies have been shut down, and outdoor gatherings of more than 100 people are prohibited, unless approved by local governments.
“At this time, it is clear that the rise in cases is largely driven by certain types of activities, including Texans congregating in bars," Abbott said in a news release. "The actions in this executive order are essential to our mission to swiftly contain this virus and protect public health.”
As of today, according to Emergency Operations Coordinator Carey Reed, Bandera County has eight active CoViD-19 cases and eight recoveries, for a total of 16 cases (12 confirmed and four pending investigation). ​
