SAN MARCOS
Order now prohibits
gatherings of 10 or more
Following a recent order by San Marcos Mayor Jane Hughson to prohibit public or private community gatherings of 50 or more people anywhere within the city limits, she signed a new order Tuesday that reduces that number to 10.
The new order also adds new closures including common dining areas at food establishments, as well as bars, and is in effect until April 1. Food establishments are ordered to take measures to reduce occupancy levels to ensure that no more than 10 people occupy the same space or dining room at the same time and are encouraged to provide take-away or no-contact delivery food service.
The new order will continue until April 1, when it will be reevaluated. For more information: sanmarcostx.gov/covid19info.
