WHEREAS, On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization
declared the coronavirus outbreak a global pandemic; on March 13,

the entire United States in the fight against COVID-19, and on that
same day, Governor Greg Abbott declared a state of disaster for all

WHEREAS, Mental health professionals have continued to
provide excellent therapy and counseling services, even in the face
of the unique challenges presented by social distancing; and
WHEREAS, Researchers and lab technicians have been working

vaccine, and, ultimately, to find a cure for COVID-19; moreover,
public health officials continue to educate communities and to
implement policies that will curb the communal spread of the
coronavirus; and
WHEREAS, Demonstrating a spirit of exceptional resilience
and perseverance in the face of the COVID-19 crisis, all those in
the health care community, including physicians, registered
nurses, patient care assistants, public health officials, mental
health professionals, researchers, and administrative and
custodial staff, have strived to ensure that Texans receive vital
and timely care, and they have earned the heartfelt gratitude of
their fellow citizens; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature hereby commend the professional health care workers of
