US sets one-day record for COVID-19 cases, Texas pauses reopening
LUBBOCK, Texas – The governor of Texas temporarily halted the state’s reopening on Thursday as COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations surged and the country set a new record for a one-day increase in cases.
“This temporary pause will help our state corral the spread until we can safely enter the next phase of opening our state for business,” Governor Greg Abbott, a two-term Republican, said in a statement. Texas’ rising numbers are part of a nationwide resurgence in states that were spared the brunt of the initial outbreak or moved early to lift restrictions on residents and businesses.
More than 36,000 new US cases were recorded on Wednesday, a few hundred shy of the record 36,426 on April 24.
