COVID-19 hospitalization capacity in Rockwall County has exceeded 15% for 7 consecutive days. Under Governor Abbott’s orders, this triggers a roll back in restrictions including the reduction of restaurant capacity to 50%.
Non-essential medical surgeries and procedures must also halt, and other businesses with 50% occupancy limits now include gyms, retailers and office-based employers. Businesses affected by the roll back can return to 75% capacity when the number of COVID‑19 hospitalized patients is 15% or less for seven consecutive days.
