On Tuesday the governor of Texas announced that he will be lifting the mask mandate and letting businesses open up at full capacity starting March 10th. He did this even after being told not to by the health administration, and will not be following their guidelines anymore. He states that since the vaccines are being distributed so much and that since there was a drop in COVID-19 cases, it is time to open businesses back of and let people go back to living their normal lives before this pandemic started. Although only about 7% of Texans are vaccinated, governor Abbot thinks that this is a viable reason to open up the state again, despite being told not to by many scientists who are afraid that this will result in another surge of cases in the future. This new order by Abbot is scaring many and making many Texans feel unsafe and afraid of another spike in cases.
