Governor Abbott announced Tuesday that cosmetology businesses can open May 8 under limited conditions, gyms and exercise businesses May 18 under limited conditions, what were classified as non-essential manufacturers May 18 under limited conditions, and office buildings on May 18 under limited conditions.

The governor is keeping bars closed, and called for comments from bar owners to help develop what has to be done to reopen those businesses.

The governor also clarified that funerals, memorials, burials, and weddings should all be treated as church services.

There was also a clarification that rules and guidelines for going to beaches, lakes, and rivers...including river rafting...are the same as attending state parks.
