Texas Governor Greg Abbott announces the reopening of more Texas businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic at a press conference at the Texas State Capitol on May 18, 2020 in Austin, Texas.
In a tweet Wednesday evening, Texas Governor Greg Abbott suggested that citizens and restaurant owners of Austin disregard the city's dine-in curfews.
The move came after Austin Mayor Steve Adler and Travis County Judge Andy Brown announced both indoor and outdoor dining would be restricted from 10:30 PM to 6:00 AM on December 31 through Sunday morning. Adler pushed for the curfew to curb the increase of COVID-19 cases in the area.

Health officials in Texas reported a single-day record in positive COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, shattering a record set previously in December. Meanwhile, Americans are traveling for the holidays despite the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, there were 19,185 new COVID-19 cases reported on Wednesday. The state's previous record occurred on December 17, when 16,864 cases were reported. Another 294 fatalities attributable to the virus were also reported Wednesday, bringing the state's tally up to 25,900. Officials said the increase in cases reflected the "impacts of Thanksgiving gatherings."
