The Re-Opening Process - Phase 2 - Part 2
(Date to be determined)
- The goal of this phased reopening plan is to methodically allow businesses, services, and activities to resume, while avoiding a resurgence of COVID-19 that could overwhelm our healthcare system and erase the progress we’ve made so far.
- Each phase will last a minimum of three weeks and could last longer before moving to the next phase
- If public health data trends are negative, specific industries, regions, and/or the entire Commonwealth may need to return to an earlier phase
- The Commonwealth will partner with industries to draft Sector-Specific Protocols in advance of future phases (example: restaurant specific protocols will be drafted in advance of Phase 2)
- If we all work together to defeat COVID-19, we can proceed through each phase

Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. Note that this was two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation - which had become official January 1, 1863. The Emancipation Proclamation had little impact on the Texans due to the minimal number of Union troops to enforce the new Executive Order. However, with the surrender of General Lee in April of 1865, and the arrival of General Granger’s regiment, the forces were finally strong enough to influence and overcome the resistance.

We hope you are all doing well, and continuing to stay healthy.
So, the city is starting to reopen. Playgrounds and splash pads are open as of today, Monday, June 15, and restaurants are open for outdoor dining. Please remember that the Mayor still asks that masks are worn while you are outside and not able to socially distance. We are all feeling the fatigue of staying in and being extra cautious about everything, but Covid 19 is still here.
Enjoy the beautiful weather we have been having, and enjoy eating socially distant outside, it'll do you a world of good! And our neighborhood restaurants need our support!
Be safe, be healthy, and spread the love!
~The West End Community Center
