Hays County Courthouse, San Marcos, TX – Hays County Local Health Department (HCLHD) reports 77 new lab-confirmed cases along with three (3) new hospitalizations and five (5) new hospital discharges since Friday’s report. There are 17 additional persons considered recovered. The total number of persons considered recovered is 16,431.

Hays County has had 787 total COVID-related hospitalizations and seven (7) people are currently hospitalized.

https://hayscountytx.com/2021/03/23/dshs-opens-vaccine-eligibility-to-all-adults-beginning-march-29/

According to Kim Hilsenbeck, Hays County Communications Manager, Hays County is not on the list to receive vaccines from the Texas Department of State Health Servies this week. 

“During the week of the winter storm, we were unable to hold any clinics, which put us behind,” Hilsenbeck said. “After internal conversations with our Office of Emergency Services, we decided to request our DSHS allocation of vaccine doses be suspended this week to allow our clinics and partners to catch up. Our normal allocation will resume next week.”
