Closings across the city

Gov. Abbott allowed Texas malls, stores, restaurants, movie theaters and restaurants to open with 25% occupancy on May 1, the day after his stay at home order expired. Abbot also allowed bars, bingo parlors, bowling alleys and tattoo parlors to open with capacity restrictions.

Many of those openings have been rolled back with cases spiking, and Abbott passed an order in early July requiring Texans to wear a face covering when in business or any other building open to the public where social distancing is not possible.
