The city of Austin and Travis County are requiring masks inside public schools, and city and county buildings. On Wednesday, Mayor Steve Adler and Travis County Judge Andy Brown announced the decision, noting that the move will "protect countless lives." The orders, which are in direct opposition to a ban by Governor Greg Abbott, will go into effect today. The move follows similar steps in San Antonio and Bexar County earlier in the week.
