Texas Governor Greg Abbott's order to lift the state's mask requirement and increase the permitted capacity of all businesses to 100% has prompted sharp criticism from health experts and government officials who deemed it irresponsible and premature, The Washington Post website reports today (March 3, 2021).
The announcement by Abbott came at a moment when public health officials are warning that new, more transmissible variants could be taking hold.
A steady decline in new cases stalled this week across the U.S., and cases actually increased in Texas, the second-most-popular state.
