Coronavirus: The City of San Angelo Restricts Gatherings at Venues

SAN ANGELO, TX – The City of San Angelo announced a number of new restrictions on Thursday morning because of the spike in COVID-19 cases.

According to COSA, on June 25, the City of San Angelo has issued an order that prohibits public events with more than 100 people in any City facility. This is effective immediately.

In addition, it requires masks to be worn in all auditoriums/theaters and performance halls by employees, volunteers and audience members.

The City may cancel, limit capacity or issue other restrictions for events not taking place in City venues through the terms of the special event permits.

This order is in accordance with an amendment Governor Abbott made to Executive Order GA-26 that allows the mayor, or county judge to impose restrictions on gatherings in excess of 100 people.

This excludes religious services, local government operations, child-care services, youth and summer camps, recreational sports programs and other critical infrastructure operations.

Also excluded are swimming pools, sporting events, museums, libraries and rodeo events. You can find the full list of exclusions at gov.texas.gov. 

Private events remain governed by the Governor’s guidance documents at open.texas.gov.
