EDITORIAL NOTE: The Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a very fluid situation, and it will continue to be. As new information becomes available from the State of Texas and federal government agencies, we will publish those updates. Disclaimer: Some information included below is provisional and subject to change.
As more and more communities around the United States experience, a rising number of Coronavirus cases, state and federal officials are looking at ways to further prevent community spread, ensure public safety and combat the rising economic impact.
In Texas, Governor Greg Abbott issued an “Essential Services and Activities protocols,” which establishes restrictions similar to stay-at-home orders issued by a number of local governments in the state.
The “Essential Services and Activities” order extends the state’s coronavirus measures until April 30 and extends school closures until May 4.
The guidelines for residents to minimize social gatherings and minimize contact with people outside of the household as well as the directive to avoid eating out at restaurants, drinking at bars or visiting other businesses or facilities not related to essential services.
According to the CDC, as of April 1, 2020, at 12:00 PM, the United States has over 180,000 total cases of COVID-19 across 55 Jurisdictions (50 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands).
The CDC reported there have been over 3,600 deaths in the U.S. related to COVID-19.
Below are the latest numbers for Hays County and the State of Texas.

SPECIAL NOTE…
According to DSHS, the numbers reported by Texas HHS may differ from what’s being reported at the local level for two reasons;
-
- Local jurisdictions receive the initial laboratory results and may report them publicly before reporting those cases to DSHS or
- Some jurisdictions may report cases diagnosed or treated in their area, even if the person lives in another county.
