This State lifts Covid 19 restrictions. Find out More Details Here!

Texas, 3/3: In a strange decision, the Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Tuesday (March 2) announced that Texas is lifting its mask mandate.

“Removing statewide mandates does not end personal responsibility,” said Abbott, speaking from a room where majority of the people were not wearing masks.

“It’s just that now state mandates are no longer needed,” added Abbott.

Abbot’s decision came at a time when governors across the US are taking decisions aimed at easing coronavirus restrictions.

The mask mandate was imposed across Texas by Abbott in July when the coronavirus outbreak was at its peak.

Meanwhile, Democratic lawmakers had urged Abbott to reconsider his decision before the repeal.
