Town of Addison COVID-19 Update

May 1 marks the beginning of Gov. Abbott's phased plan to reopen Texas. Restaurants, retailers, malls, and other business may open with a reduced 25% capacity. Tables in restaurants must remain six feet apart to abide by social distancing guidelines and no more than six people are permitted at a table.

In accordance with Gov. Abbott's April 27 Executive Order, Addison Town facilities will remain closed through May 15. Town facilities will remain staffed, but closed to public traffic so the community should contact facilities/departments directly to conduct business virtually. The Addison Athletic Club and dog parks, as well as volleyball and recreational courts (including tennis courts) will also remain closed. The trails will remain open, but everyone is strongly encouraged to practice social distancing while using them.

The Governor's new order continues to require every person in Texas, except where necessary to provide or obtain essential services or reopened services, to minimize social gatherings, and minimize in-person contact with people who are not in the same household. It also requires people to continue practicing social distancing, work from home if possible, and practice good hygiene, environmental cleanliness, and sanitation. 

People over the age of 65 are strongly encouraged to stay at home as much as possible; to maintain appropriate distance from any member of the household who has been out of the residence in the previous 14 days; and, if leaving the home, to implement social distancing and to practice good hygiene, environmental cleanliness, and sanitation per CDC recommendations. 

All individuals are encouraged to wear appropriate face coverings, but no jurisdiction can impose a civil or criminal penalty for failure to wear a face covering.
