The milestone marks the second consecutive day the state broke its record for single-day COVID-19 deaths.
Gov. Greg Abbott had previously suspended elective surgeries at hospitals in Bexar, Cameron, Dallas, Harris, Hidalgo, Nueces, Travis and Webb counties in anticipation of the overload.
“The State of Texas continues to implement strategies to help ensure ample supply of hospital beds for COVID-19 patients,” he said. “By expanding this directive to include the counties within these 11 TSAs, we are freeing up more resources to address upticks in COVID-19 related cases. The State of Texas will continue to do everything we can to mitigate the spread of this virus and support our hospitals and health care professionals as they care for their fellow Texans.
