Can I still go to the park? 

Yes. Flower Mound parks remain open to use the trails and walking paths. However, you’re asked to practice social distancing from others to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Yes. You can still receive packages, get groceries delivered, and get meal service delivery. Note that some delivery services may have restrictions for “contactless delivery” or leaving items at your door vs. handing it off.  

Can we attend religious services?

Yes. On April 27, Gov. Abbott released a document titled "Third Revised Guidance for Houses of Worship during the COVID-19 Crisis" which currently serves as the official guidance from the Office of the Attorney General and the Office of the Governor. It states houses of worship are still strongly encouraged to conduct as many activities as possible remotely. If houses of worship choose to hold in-person services, the document lists health protocols to better ensure the health of members.

How to do I help prevent the spread of the virus?

To prevent the spread of the coronavirus and other infectious illnesses, please follow good hygiene practices including:

  • Wash hands often, for 20 seconds and encourage others to do the same.
  • If no soap and water are available, use hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol.
  • Practice social distancing.
  • Wear face coverings in public/when you’re around people outside your household, especially when it’s hard to stay six feet away from others.
  • Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, then throw the tissue away.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Disinfect surfaces, buttons, handles, knobs, and other frequently-touched places.
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
