Texas governor will allow state's stay-at-home order to end on Thursday and open businesses Friday
Texas will allow some nonessential businesses to begin reopening later this week, Gov. Greg Abbott has announced.
"Obviously, not all businesses can open all at once," Abbott said."A more strategic approach is required to ensure that we don't reopen, only to have to close down again." This comes as numerous other states have taken steps to allow some nonessential businesses that closed amid the coronavirus pandemic to reopen, including Georgia, where barber shops and nail salons were among the businesses recently permitted to resume operations. President Trump criticized that decision by Georgia's governor after reportedly supporting it privately, saying in a news briefing last week he's"not happy" with it.
