Face coverings

On Thursday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued a new Executive Order mandating face coverings being worn in public in most Texas counties. Texans can voice their opinions to the governor's office by phone, e-mail and U.S. mail

The Executive Order goes into effect on July 3rd and is for all Texas counties that have at least 20 positive COVID-19 cases. Children age 10 and below don't have to wear face coverings.

The new rules will apply to all students, staff, faculty, vendors and visitors at the Texas Tech campus in Lubbock.
