Gov. Greg Abbott said Thursday that Texas will get 2,500 more medical personnel to help battle this summer's Covid surge.
Texas began requesting external assistance just two weeks ago, when Abbott announced that 2,500 out-of-state medical workers were needed to respond to the delta variant.
Covid patients are taking up more than half of all intensive care beds in Texas as of Thursday, compared with 30% nationwide, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
