Item # 1.

Council Meeting

Meeting Date:	03/09/2021
Department:	City Manager

AGENDA CAPTION:

Present and Discuss Any Action Necessary or New Information Regarding the COVID-19 Pandemic.

BACKGROUND:

In December 2019, a novel (new) coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2 ('the virus") was first detected and subsequently began causing outbreaks of the coronavirus disease COVID-19 that spread globally. The virus is easily transmitted through person to person contact, especially in group settings. As a result, the Federal Government, State of Texas, Dallas County, and the Town of Addison issued a series of declarations and orders to take measures to slow the spread of the virus and protect the ability of public and private health care providers to handle the influx of potential new patients and safeguard public health and safety.

On March 2, 2021, Texas Governor Gregg Abbott issued Executive Order GA-34 that fully opens all business and ends the statewide mask mandate effective on March 10, 2021. This order also rescinds many previous Executive Orders related to the pandemic.

Staff will update Council and the community on the impact of Executive Order GA-34.

For more information on the previous updates from the Town related to the COVID-19 pandemic, please visit: www.AddisonTexas.net/covid19.

RECOMMENDATION:

Information only, no action required.
