Gov. Greg Abbott says he is relying on data and doctors to gradually
reopen the state beginning Friday, when Texans will be able to visit
restaurants, malls and movie theaters in limited numbers.
The phased restart will be monitored through increased testing and
tracking of new coronavirus cases, a move all experts say is necessary. By
mid-May more businesses could open up, barring a sharp rise in COVID-19 cases,
Abbott says.
But where the plan is long on hope, it’s short on goals or quantifiable
triggers the state will use to decide whether to further relax social distancing
or ramp it back up, experts say.
