Texas’ Republican Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday ruled out another lockdown as new daily cases have surged past their summer peaks in recent days, although the number of deaths due to COVID-19 in the state remain well below previous highs.
Abbott made the remarks in an interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box, during which he was asked whether, “given the surge, are you going to re-lockdown or tighten controls on the Lone Star state?”
