SAN ANGELO, TX -- Tom Green County has once again reached the midpoint in the 7-day hospitalization rate timeline that could lead to closures of local businesses.
For the third day in a row Trauma Service Area K has surpassed the threshold set by Governor Abbott back in October when businesses were allowed to return to 75 percent capacity.

Where and when did the city announce this? The COSA twitter post from a few hours ago states otherwise.
