Their seats spread far apart from each other, Bexar County commissioners on Tuesday approved a loan program to tide small business owners over amid the economic strife caused by the pandemic.
In an effort to practice social distancing, the commissioners sat in separate desks instead of on the dais at their regular Tuesday meeting. They discussed the “Stay Home, Work Safe” orders issued Monday by Mayor Ron Nirenberg and Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff, which directs people to stay home as much as possible to avoid spreading COVID-19. “Basically, what we’re trying to do in the order is try to get a balance as best as we can between the public health challenge and the economic consequences of that,” Wolff said. “The order is telling people to stay at home unless they’ve got an essential trip or they’re one of the employees designated by their business to be there.”
