Texas will reopen its state parks on Monday for day-use only in a bid to open up the state following weeks of restrictions brought about by the CCP virus pandemic.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department announced Monday that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott directed that all parks could open if visitors wore face coverings and kept a six-foot distance from other people. Meanwhile, gatherings of more than five people aren’t allowed.
