How Reopening Texas Affects You

By now, we have all started to adjust to our “new normal” life for the time being but have wondered when regular operations will resume. Small businesses that were declared as “non-essential” have taken major hits financially and desperately want to reopen so that they can keep their employees compensated. In efforts to combat these financial losses, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has declared that parts of the economy will reopen at some point next week. This could have huge implications on our lives on both a local and state-wide scale, including safety precautions and travel altogether.

But how will this affect us in Houston and with your stay at Premier Patient Housing? For starters, we have remained open throughout this pandemic because we are an essential business for your well being and access to the medical center. Our business operations have remained consistent so that you are able to receive the medical treatment or health care that you need and reopening the economy will give you more resources that you deserve. However, it should be noted that having businesses open again does not mean that wearing face masks and gloves in public is no longer necessary. Maintaining a high level of security, spatial awareness, and social distancing are extremely important to your safety.

Obviously one upside to having businesses reopen in the coming days and weeks will be returning to some of your favorite restaurants and shops in the area. The medical center is a perfectly walkable area that has hundreds of top tier shopping outlets, delectable food options and numerous public parks and museums for you to explore. We hope you are able to take the time to enjoy what a beautiful city Houston is once you start feeling better. Governor Abbott has our best interests in mind, and so do we at Premier Patient Housing.
