The City of Southlake's primary concern with the COVID-19 pandemic is the health and safety of our community and members of our team. We are working with our local, state and federal partners, following advice and directives from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), and the Denton and Tarrant County Health Departments. In addition to managing City operational impacts, we are also managing contingencies that could affect public programs, meetings and facilities.
Local case data for Southlake can be viewed through the Tarrant County and Denton County case data.
The State of Texas is currently vaccinating all adults and children (only through specifically approved vaccines). Information about vaccines from the State of Texas, Tarrant County and Denton County is available at the links below.

We can do a few things and we’ve probably heard them all before. They won’t guarantee to protect us from infection, but they can reduce our risk of infection. These are just as useful for avoiding influenza (flu) virus infection during flu season and for preventing COVID-19, once the local community is known to have it circulating.
Wash your hands for 20 seconds & more frequently than you do now. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Try not to touch your face.
Stay home if you are sick, and avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
State, County and City officials are issuing orders and guidance. Be sure to understand what the what these include and how they impact you.
