âIt is now time to open Texas 100 percent,â he announced Tuesday afternoon in Lubbock.
Effective next Wednesday, March 10, any business in Texas can reopen to 100 percent capacity, if they wish. That doesnât mean businesses have to reopen, Abbott specified, but âpeople and businesses donât need the state telling them how to operate.â
The statewide face mask mandate will also end on March 10. But, Abbott said, removing state mandates does not mean ending personal responsibility. He encouraged people to continue social distancing practices as they see fit, energetically insisting that Texans know what they need to do.
âNow, Texans have mastered the daily habits to avoid getting Covid,â he said.
