In another move to combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus, New Braunfels Mayor Barron Casteel issued a “Stay at Home and Work Safe” order for the city starting at 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday.
The order, in effect until lifted by the mayor, requires city residents to remain at home and all non-essential businesses to close. Those engaged in exempted activities are mandated to abide by and maintain social distancing requirements of at least six feet.
Unveiling the mandate during a Facebook live event in City Council Chambers Tuesday afternoon, Casteel said essential city services will continue.
