Richardson coronavirus case update and what’s closed or canceled in the city

To help contain and mitigate the spread of the coronavirus outbreak, Richardson is under an order through April 30 that aligns with the Dallas County ordinance requiring all individuals to shelter in place at home.

“We are taking steps to ensure we continue to responsibly approach this situation in a way that is consistent with the CDC, North Texas region and neighboring cities,” Mayor Paul Voelker has said. “The parameters of these safety precautions follow the advice of health professionals at all levels of government and I ask for everyone’s continued understanding and patience as we join the North Texas community in fighting the spread of this disease.”
