Texas Governor Orders Use of Face Masks

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) issued an executive order requiring all Texans to wear a face covering in public in counties with 20 or more positive coronavirus cases, Axios reports.

“It’s a stark reversal for the Republican governor… On June 3, Abbott issued an executive order banning local governments from imposing fines on people who don’t wear masks in public.”

Said Abbot in a video: “In short, we must do more to slow the spread without locking Texas back down.”
