If the County Judge of Dallas is correct, Harris County and Houston will be completely shutting down "Very soon".
During a Sunday press conference where Dallas County announced a shelter-in-place, the judge who made the order also said that Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo planned on doing the same.
Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins declared a shelter-in-place order for the county.
He urged other Texas leaders, specifically Hidalgo, to also issue this measure, in order to flatten the curve the coronavirus.
Jenkins said that he had spoken with Hidalgo and that Harris County is “committed to doing the same." He said he expects the action to happen “very soon.”
“While I know what we must do, the powers at my disposal cannot do it without all of you,” Jenkins said. “And, for that matter, we cannot do it without at least our regional partners.”
