Lockhart Mayor Lew White offered his support for a county-wide Stay At Home Order issued by Caldwell County Judge Hoppy Haden. The order takes effect at 10 p.m. Tuesday, March 31:

“I support Judge Haden’s Stay Home Stay Safe order and agree it is a necessary step our local governments need to take to protect the people we serve.  

“The restrictions outlined in the order allow for people living in our community to work and provide for the needs of their families while remaining emphatic about the need for social distancing. With exception to people in a household living under the same roof, no social gatherings of any size are allowed. Hand washing, use of hand sanitizer and proper hygiene remain crucial to preventing the spread of illness. 

“We ask that you do not take this order lightly: Leave your home only to engage in essential activities, which are outlined clearly in the order.   

“Please read the order in its entirety, especially the answers to questions that have been frequently asked when other Texas counties have instituted Stay Home Stay Safe orders.  

“The City of Lockhart stands in solidarity with Caldwell County, the county’s school districts and other cities within the county. We are united in our efforts to help curb the spread of COVID-19, and we thank you for your patience and compliance. Stay home and stay safe!” 

 
Sincerely, 
Lew White 
Mayor of the City of Lockhart
