Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff last week announced he would allow bars to reopen under the recommendation of a city and county COVID-19 task force.

During Monday’s COVID-19 daily briefing, he said he met with TABC officials to discuss the opening of bars that have not reclassified as restaurants. About 10 bar owners have contacted his office to inquire about reopening, he said.
