COVID Exit Strategy (www.covidexitstrategy.org), a non- partisan group of public health and crisis experts, has been tracking the progress states have made towards meeting the CDC recommended benchmarks states should reach before reopening their economies. As of the week ending on June 26th, only six states were meeting these metrics, earning a “Green” rating. Currently, Texas is failing all 4 of CDC benchmarks TexPIRG monitors, and is rated “Red” by COVID Exit Strategy.
