HARKER HEIGHTS, TX — A market vendor at the Harker Heights Farmers Market has tested positive for COVID-19.
Prior to the opening of the farmers market season, the City of Harker Heights put in place a list of required cautionary measures for the community and vendors.
“Those cautionary measures are recommendations from the Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS). Our patrons and vendors have been extremely helpful in abiding by those requirements.” Jerry Bark, Assistant City Manager stated. “In doing so, the positive case seems to be isolated to the vendor only as they wore a face covering and washed or sanitized their hands every hour. The vendor will not participate in the upcoming market days until a negative test is received.” stated Bark.
At this time, the City says the Farmers Market will continue and is open every Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon at the Seton Medical Center Harker Heights parking lot.
City staff will continue to monitor the market.
“The cautionary measures are subject to periodic change due to recommendations made by City staff, Seton Medical Center staff, and the local and state health services” said Bark.
