With the U.S. seeing an increase in COVID-19 cases over the past few weeks, mask mandates are in the news again, prompting Republican governors to vow they will prevent their return.
Data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows a 15.7 percent increase in COVID-19 hospitalizations from August 20 to 26, compared with the week before. While those hospitalizations are still significantly down from peaks in 2021, the recently released a warning about a new coronavirus variant, BA.2.86, which it said"may be more capable of causing infection in people who have previously had COVID-19 or who have received COVID-19 vaccines."In response to the COVID-19 news, some schools and hospitals have announced a return to mask mandates for a specific period. But Republican governors have spoken out against any return to masking in their states.
"Working with the Texas Legislature, Governor Abbott signed a law this year codifying his executive orders from 2021, prohibiting any government entity from establishing mask or vaccine mandates and from closing businesses or schools due to COVID," a spokesperson for Abbott's office"Thanks to Governor Abbott and the hard work of the Texas Legislature, Texas has closed the door on COVID restrictions," the spokesperson said.
