Cass County no longer exempt from mask order

Judge Becky Wilbanks posted Sunday on Facebook that Cass County is no longer exempt from GA-29 due to the number of active cases within the county.

Wilbanks shared a notification her office received today from the Texas Division of Emergency Management.
 

"As of July 12, 2020, CASS COUNTY is no longer exempt from GA-29 due to the number of active cases in CASS COUNTY reported by the Texas Department of State Health Services as of 4 p.m. today.
 
Please direct questions to the Texas Department of State Health Services via email at the following address: coronavirus@dshs.texas.gov"

As of Monday, July 13, Cass County has a total case count of 62 with 35 of those recovered. There are 25 active cases.

GA-29 requires counties with more than 20 active cases to enforce the wearing of face masks in public.
