Mayor Johnson's statement on end of statewide COVID-19 restrictions, mask mandate

DALLAS — Mayor Eric Johnson on Tuesday issued the following statement after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's announcement that statewide COVID-19 restrictions will be lifted:

"The people of Dallas should continue to mask up and take precautions to slow COVID-19’s spread and mutations. We are getting closer to achieving herd immunity, and now is not the time to let down our guard. Vaccines, masks, and social distancing are the best tools we have for fighting this virus, which has claimed far too many lives in the last year.”
