Texas Governor Greg Abbott praised his residents for their cooperation in fighting COVID-19, and argued that the U.S. needed to perform more testing to determine who has immunity to the virus. Abbott added that he talked with Dr. Fauci, who's helping lead the coronavirus response, about increasing the nation's capacity to test individuals who show signs of immunity. His interview came after Texas directed its residents to stay at home except if engaging in essential activities. Abbott defined essential activities and services as those outlined by the Department of Homeland Security at the end of March. They included banking and financial services, grocery stores, and child care for essential service employees.
