Chambers County Judge Jimmy Sylvia has lifted the region's curfew, according to a news release.

The curfew was enacted March 23, less than one week after the county issued a disaster declaration in an effort to stem the spread of the novel coronavirus.

All other emergency measures, including the state-wide stay-at-home order, are still in effect.

As of Tuesday night, Chambers County had 1 new COVID-19 case, bringing the region's total up to 36, according to the Houston Chronicle's data team.
