Editor's note: This story was corrected to include the proper number of COVID-related deaths and to add a link to source on national hospitalization numbers. Despite COVID-19 cases rising in Bexar County and across Texas, a new state law banning municipal pandemic-related health and safety measures is set to go into effect Sept. 1. Starting Friday, local governments in Texas will be prohibited from implementing mask mandates, requiring employees to be vaccinated and from forcing private businesses to shut down to avoid the spread of communicable diseases.
