WE’RE BACK WITH SAN ANTONIO MAYOR RON NIRENBERG MAYOR IS SOMETHING
HAPPENED ON MONDAY IN THE
SEGMENT THAT I CANNOT EVER
REMEMBER HAPPENING IN THE CITY
OF SAN
ANTONIO BEFORE THE PRESIDENT
DOCTOR HENRIK OF BEAUTY HEALTH
SAN ANTONIO CAME ON LINE WITH US AND TALKED ABOUT HOW CONCERNED HE IS AN URGENT CALL
FOR ACTION. IN THE CITY AND
THEN THAT OF COURSE WAS
FOLLOWED YESTERDAY BY THE
RECORD NUMBER
OF CASES. HE SEEMED TO INDICATE
THAT HE’S CONCERNED THE WORST
IS YET TO COME DO YOU FOLLOW
THAT VIEW.
>> WELL CLEARLY WE’RE NOT DONE
WITH THIS PANDEMIC IN THE
CHALLENGE WITH MANAGING A SPY
IS THAT WE DON’T SEE THE
PEAK YET. AND SO WHAT WE’RE
TRYING TO DO THIS AS WE WERE
BACK IN MARCH AND IN APRIL IS
FLATTEN
IT OUT. SO EVERYTHING THAT WE
DO AGAIN WITH REGARD TO THE
PHYSICAL DISTANCING AND WEARING
OF MASKS ALL THOSE THINGS THAT
HELP TO CONTAIN THIS VIRUS IS
AN EFFORT TO HELP
FLATTENED PEACH. BUT IF WE DID
IF WE DON’T DO IT IN THE PIT IN
THESE CASES COME IN UNABATED
THEN THE WORST IS YET TO COME.
BUT AGAIN IT’S INDIVIDUAL
DECISIONS THAT WE MAKE THAT CAN
HELP US PREVENT THAT.
>> I WANT TO TRY TO CLEAR UP
ANY CONFUSION THAT MIGHT EXIST
THE EXTENSION OF THE CITY’S
EMERGENCY DECLARATION FROM LAST
WEEK THERE’S OF COURSE WHAT’S
HAPPENING AT THE STATE LEVEL.
THERE’S
WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH THE
COUNTY’S EXECUTIVE ORDER TODAY
MANDATING BUSINESSES REQUIRE
FACE MASKS BUT THEN
THE CITY’S EMERGENCY
DECLARATION EXTENSION WHAT DOES
THAT MEAN FOR INDIVIDUAL SAN
ANTONIANS RIGHT NOW.
>> JUDGE WOLF AND
I HAVE BEEN WORKING IN CLOSE
COLLABORATION THROUGH THE SINCE
THE VERY BEGINNING OF THESE
EMERGENCY ORDERS AND SO THE
CITY COUNCIL EXTENDED MY
EMERGENCY ORDER LAST
INDEFINITELY THROUGH THE PUBLIC
HEALTH CRISIS HELPS US DO A
NUMBER
OF THINGS. ONE OF THEM IS THAT
IT HELPS US MAINTAIN OUR
ELIGIBILITY FOR FEMA RELIEF
FUNDS WHICH YOU’RE IN USING TO
AND SURE THAT WE HAVE THE
PROTOCOLS AND EMERGENCY
RESPONSE CAPABILITIES IN PLACE.
BUT IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO ACT
QUICKLY AND IN THIS CASE, THE
JUDGE NOW WE’RE ABLE TO
DO THAT I’VE YEARS YOU DIDN’T
ORDER THAT CORRESPONDED TO HIS
FROM YESTERDAY. THAT’S OUR COLD
FOR BUSINESSES TO.
REQUIRE MASK-WEARING IN AS WELL
AS HEALTH SAFETY PLANS. I DID
THAT IT’S AS WELL
THROUGH THE ORDER THAT THE THAT
THE CITY COUNCIL GRANTED
LAST WEEK EVERYTHING IS
HAPPENING IN BEXAR COUNTY IS
HAPPENING HERE IN THE CITY OF
SAN ANTONIO WE’RE TRYING TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE’RE MOVING
QUICKLY. AS THE SITUATION
DEPENDS ON IT. AND THIS IS
REALLY AN EFFORT TO GET PEOPLE
TO TO ENSURE THAT WE’RE WEARING
MASKS AND DOING THE THINGS THAT
THE HEALTH EXPERTS ARE ARE
INTENDING FOR US DO AND ALSO
COMPLY WITH WHAT HAS BEEN A
LITTLE BIT OF A MAZE OF THE
STATE’S ORDERS BUT THE OWN BUT
THE ONUS IN THIS SITUATION IS
CLEARLY ON BUSINESSES TO
ENFORCE.
>> IT IS UNFORTUNATELY THAT’S
THE ONLY PATH THAT THE
GOVERNOR’S HAS LAID OPEN FOR
THE MASK WEARING THE AND THAT’S
BEST THE CHALLENGE HERE
IS THAT.
>> THESE ORDERS AND THE
REQUIREMENTS FOR US TO MAINTAIN
THE PUBLIC
HEALTH GUIDANCE DON’T NEED TO
BE RIDDLES THESE ARE PROBLEMS
THAT THE THESE ARE.
MAZES TO BE WORKED THROUGH IT
SHOULD BE FAIRLY CLEAR
AND UNDERSTOOD AND EVERYTHING
THAT THE STATE HAS BEEN SAYING
EVERYTHING THE LOCAL PUBLIC
HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND SAYING
EVERYTHING THAT NATIONAL HELP
PROFESSIONALS ARE SAYING
PERTAINS TO
PHYSICAL DISTANCING, WEARING A
MASK AND THE IMPORTANCE OF
WEARING OF FACE COVERINGS TO
PROTECT OURSELVES AND FROM FROM
THE SPIRES. SO WE’RE COMPLYING
WITH THAT
AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE HAVE ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS
IN PLACE TO ENSURE THAT
EVERYONE IS DOING THEIR PART.
AND UNFORTUNATELY THAT’S BEEN A
LITTLE BIT OF A CHALLENGE
FIGURING OUT WHERE
THE STATE WILL ALLOW US TO DO
THAT IT SHOULD BE CLEAR FROM
THE GET GO. I’M I’M HAPPY
THAT TODAY WE SEEM TO
HAVE FOUND SOME COMMON GROUND
ON THIS ISSUE THROUGH THE
REGULATION OF BUSINESSES.
BUT THEIR EFFORT REALLY IS FOR
FACE COVERINGS THAT SHOULD HAVE
BEEN CLEAR FROM THE VERY START
AND YOU KNOW HOPEFULLY IT WILL
BE A LITTLE SMOOTHER HERE ON
OUT.
>> ALL RIGHT MAYOR RON
NIRENBERG THANKS FOR BEING WITH
US TONIGHT. I’M SURE WE’LL BE
TALKING TO YOU AGAIN VERY SOON
ASKING SOME MORE IMPORTANT
QUESTIONS LIKE THE NIGHT BEAT
