Texas Court Strikes Down Shutdown, Curfew Mandates

A divided appeals court in Texas is ending a mandatory shutdown in one of the states hotbeds of coronavirus infections. 

The two-to-one ruling of the Eighth Court of Appeals voids the mandate on non-essential business and a nightly curfew in El Paso. 

El Paso County Judge Ricardo Samaniego had issued the mandates because of a severe outbreak there. 

The head of the El Paso chapter of National Nurses United said the morgues are full and there's a backlog of corpses. 

The mandate set occupancy limits at 50%, said restaurants must close dine-in services by 9 p.m., limit gatherings to ten people, bars remain closed and masks are mandatory in public.
