\n Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered bars in the state to close and restaurants to go down to half capacity, as the state has reported 17,000 new coronavirus cases in the last three days alone.<\/p>\n

The Republican governor has also said that outdoor gatherings of 100 or more people must be app<\/a>roved and has ordered rafting and tubing businesses to close after people have been regularly flocking to popular river spots since the state reopened.<\/p>\n

Abbot is also urging residents to stay home during what he has called a \u201cmassive outbreak.\u201d<\/p>\n

The order comes two months after the state was one of the first and fastest to reopen amid the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this time, it is clear that the rise in cases is largely driven by certain types of activities, including Texans congregating in bars,\u201d Abbott said. \u201cThe actions in this executive order are essential to our mission to swiftly contain this virus and protect public health.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Thursday, the state hit a record high in both new infections and hospitalizations \u2014 reporting 5,996 new COVID-19 cases and 4,739 hospitalizations.<\/p>\n

The state\u2019s rolling infection rate also hit nearly 12% \u2014 a level not seen since the state was in a broad lockdown in mid-April and over the 10% threshold that Abbott said in May would be a \u201cred flag\u201d in his reopening plan.<\/p>\n

Prior to the spike in new cases this week, Abbott remained reserved in his response to the growing number of cases over the past month. His announcement Friday comes as an abrupt reversal in light of the new alarming numbers.<\/p>\n

It also comes after Abbott announced Thursday the state would put its reopening on pause\u00a0and told hospitals to stop all elective surgeries to free up space\u00a0for a possible flood of COVID-19 patients.<\/p>\n

Abbott did not say when bars would reopen.<\/p>\n
