Greg Abbott's recent decision to end a statewide mask mandate and "open Texas 100%" a year after COVID-19 spread across the state have received mixed reactions from the public, which include San Angelo officials. On Tuesday, March 2, 2021, Abbott issued a new executive order, which will take effect March 10 and rescind most of his earlier orders, including restrictions on business occupancy and statewide mask order from July. "Texas is in a far better position now than when I issued my last executive order back in October," Abbott said Tuesday, referring to his order allowing bars to reopen under certain circumstances. Cases spiked after he eased business restrictions in the fall.
