Bexar County Judge and San Antonio Mayor Impose Nighttime Curfew for Thanksgiving Weekend

SAINT ANTHONY – Fearing the Thanksgiving weekend could end with a huge surge in COVID-19 cases, Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff and San Antonio Nirenberg mayor have imposed a curfew, starting from 10 p.m. to 5 hours from Thursday, November 26 and continuing until Monday, November 30.

People will not be allowed to assemble outside their homes during the enforced curfew, except when seeking the services of a business.

Restaurants, including those with outdoor service areas, will also be required to close for food services at 10 p.m. until the end of the curfew period. Establishments can continue to offer drive-thru, curfew or take out after 10 p.m. and resume food service at 6 a.m. during the curfew period.

The amended public health ordinance strongly encourages home catering service providers to only offer take-out or take-out until the curfew expires on Monday.

Individuals or establishments that violate the curfew rules can face a fine of up to $ 1,000.

“Every day that a violation continues is a new violation,” the order reads.
