Hays County, Texas, U.S, Daily Coronavirus Case Update
NOTE:
- The current COVID case stats for Texas, United States, and Worldwide are updated below.
- HAYS COUNTY STATS: Due to the holiday, Hays County Public Health will be updating the daily positive cases received from the outside labs.
- Due to the holiday lab closures, some of the positive case counts will not be reported on a timely basis showing lower positive cases, therefore the totals could be misleading.
- According to Hays County will receive updated stats in-full on Monday, July 6.
Hays County Courthouse, TX – Hays County Local Health Department today reports 50 new cases, one new hospitalization, and 53 additional recoveries. Epidemiologist Eric Schneider said the County’s total of lab-confirmed cases is 3,243; of those, 2,652 are considered active.
The total number of individuals considered recovered is 581. The number of negative tests is 10,417. Schneider is awaiting results on 61 tests.
Hays County has had 69 total hospitalizations; 21 people are currently hospitalized.
“We like to see the number of new cases going down, but we cannot relax at this point,” Schneider said. “The COVID-19 virus is still active in Hays County. And while it may not hurt you personally, you could pass
it along to a loved one or friend who isn’t able
to fight the virus.”
He added that we can all do simple, effective things to slow the spread. “Stay home if you don’t have to go out,” he said. “When out in public, stay six feet from others, wear a mask and wash your hands often. This community has the power to make an impact.”
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then wash your hands.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

NOTE: Case and fatality information is updated daily at 1 pm and is compiled from information reported publicly by local health departments and through the DSHS public health regions. Counts are current as of that morning.
Because some jurisdictions report cases later in the day, local numbers may be more up to date. County case numbers may occasionally go down if the case investigation determines the person is a resident of another county or state.
Testing numbers show the number of test results for Texas residents reported to DSHS by public health and private labs. They do not include pending tests. Additional testing may be occurring by labs not yet reporting all results to DSHS. Unable to deduplicate total test numbers for private labs.
Demographic data comes from completed case investigations. The majority of cases in Texas are still under investigation.
Hospitalization and hospital capacity numbers are reported daily by hospitals through eight Hospital Preparedness Program providers that coordinate health care system preparedness and response activities in Texas.
