Austin Public Health said in a briefing before Thanksgiving that in the past, holidays gatherings such as Easter, Memorial Day, and Independence Day have devastated families.
Recently, Travis County moved up to Stage 4 COVID-19 risk guidelines. This means to avoid non-essential travel, avoid gatherings of more than ten, two if you’re at higher risk. It also means businesses are urged to operate at 25 to 50 percent capacity. The city can issue citations on this.
