Mayor Turner reinforces city COVID-19 protocols in place after Thanksgiving weekend

“That’s about 90-100 complaints per day,” he said. “The majority are handled on the spot. Managers have been receptive. In the end, we want to help businesses keep lights on, but we need their assistance to make sure they’re enforcing what’s in the governor’s order.”

“We’re trying to strike a balance between public health and businesses open,” Turner said.

He also echoed the guidance by many health experts across the country for anyone who traveled over the weekend or had people visit who don’t live with them.

Experts say if you were in a high exposure situation, it is recommended to get tested around four to eight days after exposure. Harvard Health says if you get tested right after an infection, you’re likely to get a false negative because there are not enough viral particles in your nose or saliva. So if you celebrated during Thanksgiving, a good time to get tested would be between Tuesday, Dec. 1, and Friday, Dec. 4. They also recommend you quarantine while you’re waiting for your test in case you do have COVID-19.

With Thanksgiving now over, many are starting to plan for Christmas and New Year’s. If you plan to travel in December, here’s what to expect at Houston airports.
