Statesman: Texas reports 5K coronavirus cases, highest single-day hike

Gov. Greg Abbott said Texas is hitting an all-time high for COVID-19 cases Tuesday and told Texans to stay home unless they need to be out.

“We want to make sure everyone reinforces the best safe practices of wearing a mask, hand sanitation, maintaining safe distance, but importantly, because the spread is so rapid right now, there’s never a reason for you to have to leave your home unless you need to go out,” Abbott said. “The safest place for you is at your home.”
