Governor Abbott extends statewide COVID-19 disaster declaration

Governor Greg Abbott issued a proclamation July 10 extending his disaster declaration for all Texas counties in response to COVID-19. Originally issued on March 13, the disaster declaration provides the state a number of resources to effectively serve Texans as the Lone Star State continues to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

“Extending this disaster declaration helps ensure that Texas has the resources and flexibility needed to effectively respond to COVID-19,” said Governor Abbott. “To further mitigate the spread of the virus and overcome this challenge, Texans should continue to do their part by wearing a mask, social distancing, and staying home if possible.”
