AUSTIN (KXAN) — Texas cities and counties continue to issue their own stay-at-home and shelter-in-place orders after Gov. Greg Abbott declined to issue a statewide order. He said he preferred local governments decide for themselves.
So far, more than 50 Texas counties have issued stay-at-home orders. There are huge clusters of stay-at-home orders for counties around the most populated cities.
Stay-at-home and shelter-in-place are essentially the same thing. Many city and county leaders though have started calling it a stay-at-home or “Stay Home, Work Safe” order so people don’t get it confused with orders during something like a hurricane or active shooter.
Here’s a look at which counties currently have stay-at-home orders in place:
