Gov. Greg Abbott has urged state residents to wear masks.
AUSTIN, Texas — Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday froze Texas' state reopening plan amid a surge of new coronavirus cases and concern over whether the pandemic could swamp local health systems.
Abbott’s response to the pandemic has grown more urgent in recent days as hospitals warned about their limited surge capacity. Texas Children’s Hospital is admitting adult patients to free up beds around Harris County, which includes Houston and is the third most populous county in the U.S. Abbott took over the state’s pandemic response from local officials in late March and began lifting restrictions in May in a bid to reboot the state's economy.
“A few weeks ago I thought we may be headed toward brink of disaster,” she said. “Now I am quite confident we are headed that way. The question of whether it’s too late.”
