Texas broke its record for hospitalizations for the 13th day in a row Wednesday with 4,389 patients in hospitals.
Phase 3 also allowed amusement parks and carnivals in counties with more than 1,000 cases to operate at half-capacity beginning June 19. There are no capacity limits for houses of worship, child care services, local government operations, youth camps and recreational sports for adults and youths.
When he lifted the statewide elective surgery ban in April, Abbott required health care facilities to show in writing that they would be able to reserve at least 25% of its hospital capacity for the treatment of COVID-19 patients and show that it will not need to request personal protective equipment from any public source.
“Our health systems are committed to providing capacity in these unusual times and collaborating closely with each other and with local and state leadership and public health experts,” the spokesperson said in a statement, adding that hospitals reach capacity, they could adjust staffing and make other changes.
