Stay-At_Home Order Extended Through April 30th

The Mayor and City Council Members for the City of Amarillo have voted to extent the Stay-At-Home order.

The new order is in effect through April 30th and may be extended by future action from Council.

“Amarillo residents are responding to this stay-at-home directive. They are doing what is necessary to protect themselves, their neighbors and their community by helping to stop the spread of  COVID-19,” said Mayor Ginger Nelson. “It has been so inspiring to see Amarillo embrace the ‘All In Amarillo’ campaign.

Under the stay-at-home directive, residents are allowed to travel for supplies such as groceries and items needed for their health.

Essential travel is allowed, and is generally defined as travel for essential personal activities and work services.

These include travel to care for vulnerable people, to get educational materials, to attend funerals and to fulfill a court order.
