"The State of Texas is forever grateful for the committed health care workers serving on the frontlines of the COVID-19 response," said Governor Abbott. "Their sacrifice and hard work cannot be overstated, and they play a crucial role in ensuring their fellow Texans have the care and support they need during this challenging time. I ask that all Texans join me and Cecilia in praying for these heroic Texans."
