Governor Greg Abbott's new COVID-19 shutdown emergence level kicks in today. On Thursday, the Governor said some businesses, including retail sites, restaurants, manufacturers, offices, museums, libraries and gyms, can operate at 75% capacity should the business so choose. This new loosening of COVID-19 restrictions goes into effect today. It is an option, not a requirement in regions across Texas where COVID-19 hospitalizations are under 15% of total hospitalizations in a particular community.
