Texas hospitals have erected overflow tents to cope with an expected influx of COVID-19 patients, with some school districts reimposing mask mandates as the virus surges again.
Intensive care units at the Lyndon B. Johnson hospital in Houston are entirely full, CNN reported, as Texas – where less than 50 per cent of all residents are fully vaccinated – struggles to fight a third wave of infection.
Texas Health Hospitals in Rockwall and Greenville, both suburbs of Dallas, were also preparing their own makeshift tent wards for the expected influx.
On Tuesday the state recorded 12,881 new cases. The state’s numbers are creeping back up towards the all-time high of more than 27,000 infections recorded in a single day in January.
Only 45.81 per cent of Texans have taken advantage of the vaccine, according to John Hopkins University – putting Texas well into the bottom half of the national vaccine ‘league table’.
Harris Health System in Houston said that the emergency tents, outside in temperatures well over 90 degrees Fahrenheit, was to deal with the new patients.
