Operative words

'We have been closely monitoring the situation with COVID-19 in Texas, and the overwhelming concerns about large indoor group meetings during this pandemic... it was a tough one to make, but a necessary one since travel restrictions by many States made the event no longer viable' (SWVS notice, Ex. SEC-26-GM-012)
