“A Pasadena bar openly defied Gov. Greg Abbott’s order for all bars to remain closed due to skyrocketing COVID-19 cases by hosting a ‘Texas Bars Fight Back Rally’ this weekend” MySanAntonio.com reported Tuesday.
“It was a shocking scene on Sunday at Chuters Dance Hall & Saloon in Pasadena; a dance floor full of patrons – many not wearing masks – danced to a live band as the alcohol flowed, breaking several COVID-19 state health protocols.”
“‘I believe everyone has the right to work for a living, and I believe they have a right to be open like any other business,’ patron Kristina Reff told the Houston Chronicle.”
“Following a major increase in COVID-19 cases in Texas, Abbott halted the state’s reopening plan on June 25 and a day later closed down bars again. That same day, Harris County was placed under a stay-home advisory after reaching the highest possible COVID-19 threat level.”
