ROUND ROCK, TX —Amid concerns over new coronavirus, or COVID-19 pandemic WCCHD Medical Director and Williamson County Health Authority, Dr. Lori Pallazo and under direction of the Willamson County Health District and recommendations from the office of Emergency Management, Williamson County leadership announced actions needed to prevent the spread of the disease.

A news release from the Williamson County Health District offered advice for ways to help mitigate more people contracting COVID-19 including:

  • Staying home when you are sick, except to get medical care. Using telemedicine if possible
  • Covering your coughs and sneezes with a tissue, then throwing the tissue in the trash
  • Washing your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing
  • When you can't wash your hands with soap and water, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol
  • Avoiding touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
  • Cleaning frequently touched surfaces and objects daily
  • Practicing social distancing - keeping a space of six feet between you and others; and avoiding any type of mass gatherings
  • Getting a flu shot. (Although the flu shot does not protect against COVID-19, it is flu season.)

As of March 17, all bar and restaurant dining rooms in Williamson County must close as of 6 p.m. on March 18 based on the latest order issued by Williamson County. Carryout and delivery options are still permitted. There are several Downtown Round Rock restaurants offering curbside and delivery options, and these options offer a way for patrons to continue supporting favorite local small businesses while accepting the advice of practicing social distancing.
