Texas surpassed 10,000 new coronavirus cases in a single day Tuesday for the first time, crossing a sobering milestone rarely seen since the pandemic first hit the U.S. in March.

As per news report of PTI, Republican Governor Greg Abbott of Texas aggressively began one of America's fastest reopenings in May, but reversed course last week, ordering bars closed and mandating face coverings in much of the state. New York and Florida are the only other states to record more than 10,000 new cases in a single day. New York hit that grim total back in April, when New York City hospitals were overwhelmed and hundreds of people were dying every day. Florida topped 10,000 confirmed cases last week.
