Austin City Council is considering a mandatory 35-day lockdown and a "lessons learned" program to address rising COVID-19 cases. Mayor Adler supports a proposal that would declare businesses a nuisance if they fail to enforce mask use, disinfect twice daily, and limit groups to ten people. Violators of these proposed regulations could face civil suits filed by the city attorney.

Mayor Steve Adler cancels the 34th annual South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas, following a local disaster declaration. Despite previous statements from health officials that canceling the event would not stop the spread of COVID-19, the city reversed its position to mitigate the risk of person-to-person transmission. The decision comes as numerous high-profile tech companies and performers had already withdrawn from the festival.

The cancellation of SXSW is linked to the signing of the $8.3 billion Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, which requires local disaster declarations to access specific funds. Mayor Adler faced criticism for releasing a video of himself drinking tequila at a local restaurant shortly after canceling the festival for health reasons. The federal bill includes $475 million for cities that must be allocated within 30 days.

Austin, Texas, implemented a mandatory water boil notice following heavy rains and flooding that caused silt to clog water purification systems. Mayor Steve Adler faced criticism for the city's handling of the crisis, which resulted in restaurant closures and economic disruption. Speculation suggests that the introduction of grass carp into Lake Austin may have removed vegetation that previously filtered silt during flood events.
