 * Texas COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to drop, 17 days after it scrapped its mask mandate and allowed businesses to reopen at full capacity 

 * On Saturday, seven-day positivity rate reached an all-time low of 5.27 per cent 

 * The state reported 2,292 new cases, about 500 fewer on average from last week 

 * Hospitalizations, meanwhile, dipped to 3,308, its lowest level since October 

 * Comes after Republican Governor Greg Abbott drew harsh criticism for brushing off warnings to not relax COVID-19 restrictions earlier this month 

 * President Joe Biden at the time slammed the move as a 'Neanderthal thinking' and warned it would be a 'big mistake'
