Guadalupe County shares latest information on lifting of mask ordinance By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) – Not only does Guadalupe County have to fall under Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s threshold for active COVID-19 cases but it also has to hold steady on that decline if it wants to seek his permission to do away with the masks. That’s the latest update provided to the Guadalupe County Commissioners Court by Patrick Pinder, the Guadalupe County emergency management coordinator.

“Here’s the breakdown of the jurisdictions. New Braunfels has zero active cases. Cibolo has four active cases. Seguin has four. Schertz has three. Marion has one. The unincorporated area of the county has seven so a total of 19. I know people are going to see that active number at 19 and they are going to
say ‘oh well, the governor said under 20, we can remove the mask order so I did find out that you have to be under 20 for 30 days before the governor’s office will even consider removing the mask order. So, tomorrow that number could jump back up once again so we are not at that point yet but

we will continue to monitor the active cases and I’ll brief the court when we have reached a point where I think we can submit that letter from the county judge to try to lift that mask order if the court wishes,” said Pinder. Pinder says new reporting changes that have been thrown in recently by the state have made seeing that downward trend more difficult. See MASK, page 3
