Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday ordered schools to remain closed until at least May 4 and said Texans should stay at home, with exceptions, through April 30.
The executive order signed by Abbott directs all Texans to minimize non-essential gatherings and in-person contact with people who are not in the same household. The order renews and amends a previous order enforcing federal social distancing guidelines for COVID-19.
