Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) has issued an order making it mandatory for all Texans to wear a face mask while out in public as the state faces a surge in coronavirus cases.

The governor’s office said the order applied to all counties in Texas with 20 or more confirmed cases of COVID-19, saying the move was necessary with other efforts to curb the spread of the disease.

He said that wearing a face covering is important not only to protect oneself, but also to avoid unknowingly harming fellow Texans, especially given that many people who go into public may have COVID-19 without knowing it because they have no symptoms.

The order notes that Texas law enforcement is allowed to enforce the law by issuing a $250 fine if someone doesn’t comply after being warned.

Abbott’s order comes after the governor late last week decided to ban standalone bars in the state from serving alcohol in an attempt to stop the rise of cases.

As US President Trump has been refusing to wear a mask since the start of the pandemic, now governors in multiple states are stressing the need to wear masks and practice social distancing as part of efforts to stem the rise of new cases.

Texas has broken its record for the daily number of new cases several times in the past two weeks, most recently on this Wednesday when it reported 8,076 new cases.

And the Texas Governor also said, “Covid-19 is not going away,” and he added, “In fact, it’s getting worse.”

The Biblical prophecies (Matthew 24, Luke 21) describe that pestilence will be a sign which indicates the nearing of the end of this age of grace.

These events and conditions happening now are warning signs pointing to the nearing fulfillment of the Last Days prophecies at the end of this age revealing it’s time to prepare now for the nearing appearance of Jesus Christ for His Church by being born again spiritually into the Kingdom of God as Jesus said we must (John 3) and His Apostles who were authorized (Matthew 16:19) described how (Acts 2).
