For the first time in about 14 months, the state of Texas reported zero deaths from COVID-19.
The great news comes days after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced new guidelines for vaccinated Americans, declaring it safe to participate in most activities without a mask.
Gov. Greg Abbott thanked Texans in a tweet Sunday, announcing the big milestone in the state’s fight against COVID-19.
According to Abbott, this is the first time Texas has reported zero coronavirus-related deaths since data first began being tracked in March 2020.
On top of zero reported deaths, Texas is also reporting the fewest COVID-19 cases in over 13 months, the lowest seven day positivity rate ever, and the lowest hospitalization rate in 11 months, according to the governor.
