Midland Mayor Patrick Payton has changed the current disaster declaration that puts in place measures that mandate social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic.

The declaration states businesses can allow in the store the number of customers equal to 10 percent of its occupancy based on square footage. For example, if a store such H-E-B has an occupancy of 2,000, then it would be allowed to have 200 customers at any one time. Employees would not factor into that number, Payton said at Tuesday's special city council meeting.

@TatumGuinn is a good follow if you do Twitter. She's always tweeting the latest counts as well as where they got the virus, if they're quarantined at home or in ICU, etc.
