Greg Abbott on Tuesday directed the state Health and Human Services Commission to enact new health and safety standards for child care centers during the coronavirus more than a week after prior rules for the centers were made optional. Todays proclamation and emergency rules will aid in that effort in two key ways: allowing restrictions on large gatherings where COVID-19 is easily spread and implementing a statewide standard of infection control for child care centers.Abbott said that both actions are based on data showing an increase in coronavirus cases stemming from both large gatherings and child care centers. As of mid-June, state-licensed child care centers were no longer required to comply with a list of safety precautions that had been in effect since mid-April. We are eager to work with the Governor to develop a Texas plan to ensure child care providers can provide safe and quality care without increasing costs to Texas families.Earlier Tuesday, Texas reported over 5,000 new coronavirus cases another record high. But as cases continue to climb, the governor has continued to tout Texas hospital capacity as plentiful.
