San Antonio COVID Threat Is 'Severe' And Hospitals Are Stretched Thin But Officials' Hands Are Tied When It Comes To Mask, Vaccine Mandates
The San Antonio-area COVID threat level increased to "severe" last week and an emergency alert was issued to warn residents as the Delta variant surges across Texas, causing a steep spike in hospitalizations of people who haven't been vaccinated.Local leaders recently asked Gov.

Those requests were denied. What else can local officials do to curb the Delta surge and address hospital capacity issues?
