All Non-Essential Businesses in Wichita County Allowed to Open
In a press conference earlier today, Mayor Stephen Santellana issued the “Live Safe, Work Safe” order.
Effective Saturday, April 25, 2020 at 8:00 am businesses that were deemed non-essential (restaurants, bars, retail stores, etc.) will be allowed to reopen. Businesses that choose to reopen will be required to present city and county leaders with a sanitization plan.
There are restrictions in place with the order:
- People ages six and older are required to wear a mask when in public.
- Businesses are recommended to screen all employees
- Businesses must use social distancing practices as well as practice health sanitization
- Gatherings must be limited to no more than ten people
While churches are urged to conduct services online, city leaders are following the executive order of Governor Abbott.
