New COVID-19 Cases Brings El Paso’s Total to 986
As El Pasoans prepare to adjust to a slow reopening of our area, we see another increase in COVID-19 cases. As of May 2nd, The City of El Paso has reported new confirmed cases of COVID-19 in our area, which brings our total to 986 cases.
El Pasoans are urged to still follow safety precautions as the city begins to reopen, along with the rest of the state of Texas. Have some common sense when going out and about El Paso. In response to Texas Governor Greg Abbott, our City and County officials are working on proposing amendments to the Local Emergency Directive, which will go into place on May 1st, 2020.
PLEASE, PLEASE stay home if you do not need to be out.
