2:10Now PlayingTexas Gov. Greg Abbott anounced Tuesday that statewide pandemic restrictions put in place last year, including his statewide mask mandate and capacity restrictions, will end on March 10.
"It is now time to open Texas 100%," Abbott said. "Every business that wants to open should be open."
Abbott made the announcement while visiting small business owners in Lubbock. He said for nearly half a year most businesses have been open at only 50-75% capacity.
His new executive order effective next Wednesday allows all businesses of any type to open at 100% capacity and rescinds his previous order requiring Texans to cover their faces.
Texans have been required to cover their faces in public since this past July when the coronavirus outbreak continued to worsen. At the time, Dallas County was reporting about 700 new COVID-19 cases per day compared to the 309 reported on Tuesday.
