Gov. Abbott says Texas business can open at 25 % of capacity on May 1, If no flare up of virus, they will go to 50% on May 18

Houston Chronicle:
Gov. Greg Abbott outlined his plans for the state to reopen during a Monday news conference at the State Capitol, which includes letting the state's stay-home, work-safe order expire as planned on April 30.

Abbott's plan to allow businesses to reopen consists of two phases. Beginning Friday, May 1, all retail stores, restaurants, movie theaters, malls, museums, libraries, churches and places of worship can reopen with occupancy limited to no more than 25 percent. Interactive exhibits at museums and libraries must remain closed at this time.

Once two weeks of state data show no flareups of COVID-19, Abbott said he hopes the state can progress to phase 2 on May 18. Phase 2 would increase occupancy for the above-listed businesses to 50 percent.

Barbershops, hair salons, and bars will remain closed until phase 2 kicks in.  The story does not mention a mask requirement.
