Coronavirus updates: Too many countries headed in wrong direction, WHO says - BBC News
Mixed messages from leaders are undermining public trust amid the pandemic, the WHO head says.
The leaders of Houston, Texas, are calling for another statewide lockdown after infections there climbed to more than 27,600 on Sunday.

"Not only do we need a stay home order now, but we need to stick with it this time until the hospitalisation curve comes down, not just flattens," tweeted Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo - who oversees the most populous county in Texas - on Sunday.

"Many communities that persevered in that way are reopening for the long haul. Let’s learn from that (and) not make the same mistake twice."

Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said over the weekend that he disagrees with the governor’s effort to reopen schools.

“It makes no sense to be having this conversation while this virus is out of control," Turner said on Saturday. "You don't send kids back to school when there's a raging fire and the fires still burning in August.

“Put the doggone fire out in July, so shut down for a couple of weeks."

Texas recorded 8,100 new cases on Sunday and 80 Covid-related deaths.
