Nobody's talking about the Great Texas Freeze anymore, following the announcement from Texas Governor Greg Abbott yesterday from Lubbock that the state is lifting practically all statewide restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic as of March 10 - this includes limits on business openings and capacity, and also the ending of the statewide masking mandate. The Austin Independent School District says they're not making any policy changes just yet regarding safety rules. Meanwhile, the Austin Police Department reveals changes coming to their Academy curriculum, and H-E-B lifts all purchasing restrictions for the first time since the pandemic began.
