STAY HOME WORK SAFE


Austin is the first major city in Texas to extend its stay-at-home order beyond May 1

Residents in Austin and Travis counties will remain under the โ€œStay Home-Work Safeโ€ order until 11:59 p.m. on May 8, KXAN reports. The order which was expected to be lifted on April 14 was extended by county officials on Monday. โ€œThe next three weeks are going to be critical for us,โ€ Austin Public Health Interim Health Authority Dr. Mark Escott said, according to KXAN. โ€œWhat weโ€™re trying to do is buy time. Buy time for more PPE, buy time for more testing capabilities โ€ฆ and to ultimately buy time for two of the most critical components of this, effective treatment and vaccinations.โ€Counties in San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston are currently under stay-at-home orders through April 30.

Safety tips and best practices when heading to the grocery store

HOUSTON โ€“ Trips to the grocery store have always been a family event for many people, but with the Stay Home Work Safe order, we should really only be heading out for essential items. We want to reduce the number of people in that store and practice social distancing effectively,โ€ said Sujata. The next time you head to the grocery store or pick up food from a restaurant, Sirsat offers these tips to stay safe:Wash store-bought produce thoroughly with cool water then dry the produce with a disposable paper towel. Recommendations circulating on social media to wash produce with soap are inaccurate, and Sirsat notes that this could be harmful since soap is toxic when consumed. Watch above as Sujata gives her tips and best practices for going to the grocery store, and once you get home.

Can I do that now? Answering your stay-in-place order questions

It reads โ€œthe existing trial court order shall control in all instances. It wouldnโ€™t hurt to carry a copy of the order and your visitation schedule court documents in case you get stopped. Answer: You can bathe your pets just as you wash your own hands, but under the stay-in-place order, pet grooming is not deemed essential. Answer: Under the order, yard and maintenance crews, housekeepers and janitorial staff are included in a long list of โ€œessential services necessary to maintain essential operations of residences or other essential businesses.โ€ See the 17th paragraph from the bottom of the order here. Answer: If itโ€™s a bar, nightclub or restaurant violating the order, you can call the Harris County Stay Home, Work Safe hotline at 832-839-6941.
