Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday issued a statewide face-covering requirement as the CCP virus outbreak continued to worsen in the state.
“Governor Greg Abbott today issued an Executive Order requiring all Texans to wear a face-covering over the nose and mouth in public spaces in counties with 20 or more positive COVID-19 cases, with few exceptions,” the governor’s order read. The order goes into effect at 12:01 a.m. on Friday.
