Sunday, June 28, 2020
GALENA PARK, Texas (KTRK) -- If it's after 10 p.m. in Galena Park, you'll need to be home or off the streets.

That's due to a curfew order issued by Mayor Esmeralda Moya to help combat COVID-19 infections.

The curfew is in effect from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. until further notice, Moya said.

The mayor's decision comes after Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo upgraded the county's COVID-19 public threat level to severe on Friday.

"Let's remember that our collective fight against COVID-19 is one in which we mustn't underestimate," Moya wrote. "We must all do our part to ensure the protection of our family, friends, and fellow citizens of Galena Park."
