Texas is seeing some encouraging numbers when it comes to the coronavirus situation in the Lone Star state.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on Sunday announced that the state reported zero COVID-19-related deaths for the first time since the pandemic began escalating in the U.S.
“Today Texas reported: * 0 Covid related deaths—the only time that’s happened since data was tracked in March, 2020,” the Republican governor tweeted Sunday.
He said the state also had the lowest seven-day positivity rate since the pandemic began, the fewest new cases in more than 13 months and the lowest COVID-19 hospitalizations in 11 months. Only 624 new COVID-19 cases were reported statewide on Sunday.
“Thanks, Texans!” the governor tweeted.
As of Monday, however, 23 new deaths had been reported with 318 newly confirmed cases, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.
The milestone Sunday came months after Abbott faced widespread criticism in March when he eliminated the state’s mask mandate and allowed businesses to reopen to full capacity. The move was criticized by President Biden, who called it “Neanderthal thinking.”
