Big Sky Values Pac issued the following announcement on June 24.

WASHINGTON: For a second consecutive week, Texas, Arizona and Nevada set records in their coronavirus outbreaks, and 10 other states from Florida to California were grappling with a surge in infections.

Texas reported more than 5,000 new infections on Monday (Jun 22), a single-day record for the state. It has also seen COVID-19 hospitalisations hit record highs for 11 days in a row.

The Texas Children's Hospital is admitting adult coronavirus patients due to a spike in serious COVID-19 cases in the Houston area.

"We know COVID-19 has not gone away. We implore you to take responsible actions – practice appropriate social distancing, wear a mask or face covering anytime you leave your home," the Texas Children's Hospital said in a statement, without specifying how many coronavirus patients they admitted.

While the United States appeared to have curbed the outbreak for several weeks in May, overall cases rose 25 per cent last week with 10 states reporting a greater than 50 per cent rise in new infections, according to a Reuters analysis.
