Texas is in the “red zone” for coronavirus cases.
The White House Coronavirus Task Force released a report this week listing the state as having a positivity rate over ten-percent.
The report recommends residents wear masks, socially distance, minimize travel outside of the home, and get tested.
Health officials say 42-hundred lives could be saved if everyone just wears a mask.
They expect hospitals to be overwhelmed from outbreaks stemming from holiday gatherings, especially with Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year’s still ahead.
