EDITORIAL NOTE
According to the CDC, the State of Texas and Hays County Public Health all give the same disclaimer on all current counts and totals. “The Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a very fluid situation, and it will continue to be. All case numbers and totals are subject to change. As new information becomes available, we will publish those updates.”
Hays County Courthouse, TX – Hays County Local Health Department (HCLHD) reports three COVID-related fatalities since Wednesday’s update: a Buda man in his 60s, a Buda woman in her 80s, and a Wimberley man in his 90s.
The department also reports 46 new lab-confirmed cases along with zero (0) new hospitalizations and five (5) new hospital discharges. There are 543 additional persons considered recovered. Hays County has 886 active cases. Three (3) people are currently hospitalized.
Hays County residents can upload at-home COVID-19 test results to the local health department here: https://arcg.is/1G4P1r. All information is confidential and no identifying information is collected. While these reports will not be included in the official case counts for Hays County, they will provide a better understanding of community spread.
Beginning March 16, we will email out weekly updates (on Wednesdays) with the following data:
- News Cases (past 7-day total)
- Cases per 100,000 (7-day average)
- Active cases
- Hospital admissions (total past 7 days)
- New hospitalizations per 100,000 (7-day average)
- Fatalities (past 7 days)
- 7-day test positivity rate
Reporting COVID data in this manner is more in line with how the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention now calculates whether a community has high, medium or low transmission. It’s also in a more standardized format for comparability across counties and regions.
Additional information about COVID-19 cases will be available on our online dashboard.
