Dallas County is requiring individuals to wear a covering over the nose and mouth when visiting an essential business or using public transportation (including taxis or ride shares). This does not apply to persons riding in a personal vehicle, engaging in appropriately distanced outdoor activity, or when such a covering causes a safety or health threat. It is important to remember that wearing a mask or face covering is NOT a substitute for maintaining 6-feet social distancing and hand washing. For more details, visit the Dallas County website.
The City of Garland’s ordinance regarding Shelter-in-Place is consistent with the most current Dallas County order, which is currently in effect until 11:59 p.m. April 30, 2020. See the latest orders and declarations from the State of Texas and Dallas County.
