GOV. ABBOTT TO ISSUE COVID-19 UPDATE TUESDAY

  

Governor Greg Abbott will issue an update on the state’s response to COVID-19 this (Tuesday) afternoon.

Abbott will make his announcement at 2:30 p.m. in the State Capitol auditorium.  He will be joined by Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) Commissioner John Hellerstedt, Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) Chief Nim Kidd, Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) Acting Executive Commissioner Phil Wilson, and Texas Education Agency (TEA) Commissioner Mike Morath.

Abbott did not say specifically what he would be discussing, although he is expected to address the public’s response to the state’s first openings after letting his stay-at-home order expire last week.

The governor’s update will be available through various online outlets.
