West Texas City Refuses to Enforce Governor’s New Coronavirus Order on Bar Closures

Abilene, Texas, officials announced they will not enforce Governor Greg Abbott’s new Coronavirus order, which calls for the closure of bars and reduces allowable restaurant capacity amid an increase in new cases.
Governor Abbott ordered all bars closed effective noon local time Friday, June 26. The executive action also requires restaurants operating at 75 percent capacity to return to 50 percent beginning the following Monday. Outdoor public gatherings will also be capped at 100 and leaves local authorities to decide if capacity may be increased.
