FOX 7 Discussion: Coronavirus restrictions in Texas

A recent surge in hospitalizations for COVID-19 cases has led to the City of Austin entering stage four pandemic restrictions over the weekend. Travis County GOP Chairman Matt Mackowiak and Glenn Smith from Progress Texas join Mike Warren to talk about this in greater detail.

The City of Austin hit stage 4 pandemic restrictions over the weekend.
