"The support from our federal partners is crucial in our work to mitigate the spread of Covid-19 in our communities throughout Texas," said Governor Abbott.

"I am grateful for this ongoing partnership with the Department of Defense and the US Navy, and the State of Texas will continue to utilize every resource available to protect public health and keep Texans in every community safe."
