Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered bars to close on Friday amid a surge in coronavirus cases in the state. Abbott outlined a series of measures in an executive order aimed at stemming the spread of COVID-19 in Texas. Bars are required to close but may continue to provide delivery and take-out service. Restaurants can remain open but with only 50 percent indoor capacity. Outdoor gatherings of 100 or more people need the approval of local governments. cl/dw
