Press release from the City of Pflugerville:

08/19/2021 8:54 AM

With the increase of new cases of COVID-19 disproportionately affecting the City of Pflugerville’s zip code, on August 18, Pflugerville City Council approved a resolution requiring face masks be worn inside all City of Pflugerville owned facilities. This includes City Hall and City Council Chambers, the Recreation Center, Library, Justice Center, Animal Welfare Services, Planning & Development Services and other City offices. Wearing a face mask continues to be, aside from vaccination, one of the most important actions everyone can take to slow the spread of COVID-19, and the City of Pflugerville encourages all local businesses and organizations to require masks in accordance with the CDC’s and Austin Public Health’s most recent guidelines. 

Under the latest action taken by the City of Pflugerville and Travis County, an individual over the age of six is required to wear a face covering while present on or in City and County property unless expressly exempted in Section 2 or by a City or County policy applicable to the premises or facility. 

Read the full resolution for City of Pflugerville owned facilities and Travis County Orders.

The mask mandate inside all City of Pflugerville owned facilities is effective as of August 18, 2021, and imposes requirements reasonably necessary to protect public health related to the transmission of COVID-19. 

As a reminder, Travis County is currently under Stage 5 of Austin Public Health’s risk-based guidelines. In Stage 5, individuals should continue to follow these personal recommendations: 

Vaccinated individuals

Partially or non-vaccinated individuals

All partially or not vaccinated individuals, regardless of risk, should avoid most activities unless essential. It is recommended that shopping and dining be takeaway and/or curbside.
