The number of hospital beds is increasing in Texas

Austin (AP) – Governor Greg Abbott says Texas has doubled the number of hospital beds in the past two weeks. But hospital officials are saying there’s not enough protective gear available for doctors and nurses, and Texas officials acknowledge they haven’t received all the supplies they have requested from the federal government. A coronavirus outbreak at a Texas City nursing home has infected more than 80 residents and staff members, while an outbreak at a San Antonio nursing home has infected more than 60 residents. One sick resident at the Southeast Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in San Antonio has died.
