Despite, Gov. Greg Abbott‘s announcement many Austin businesses refuse to change their mask protocols just yet.
Gov. Abbott announced on March 2 that he is opening Texas “100%” in addition to lifting the mask mandate in Texas.
Many Austin-area restaurants and stores have posted on social media saying they will continue requiring masks even after they are lifted on March 10.
Abbott’s announcement does not order businesses to lift their own mask requirements and capacity limits.
