The Texas Department of Health said Saturday there more than 1,800 new cases of the CCP virus were reported Saturday, the highest number so far in the Lone Star State.

The new figures come as Texas officials started testing more in areas that were deemed a high risk—and it also comes as some businesses reopened after being shuttered for weeks.
