Texas Governor Greg Abbott has announced that effective March 10, 2021, he would lift the mandate to wear masks in public. He also announced that all businesses could operate at 100 percent of capacity.
San Antonio Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller, has determined, after reviewing the governor’s order, and after seeking advice from health authorities and local civic officials, that all of the safety measures in place at the current time are to be continued throughout the Archdiocese of San Antonio until further notice. This regards the use of face coverings or masks, social distancing and all sanitizing procedures that have been effective in keeping us safe. These will not be changed at this time.
