Associated Press: “Gov. Greg Abbott appealed for out-of-state help to fight the third wave of COVID-19 in Texas while two more of the state’s largest school districts announced mask mandates in defiance of the governor.”
“Abbott’s request Monday came as a county-owned hospital in Houston raised tents to accommodate their COVID-19 overflow.”
“The Republican governor has directed the Texas Department of State Health Services to use staffing agencies to find additional medical staff from beyond the state’s borders as the delta wave began to overwhelm its present staffing resources.”
