On Wednesday, the City of Buda announced the cancelation of its Citizens’ Academy for 2020.

“We believe the academy works best in person due to its interactive nature,” the city said.

Hays County has seen a steady rise in COVID-19 cases since Governor Greg Abbott began reopening the state.

Thus far, a total of 14 people have died due to COVID-19 related complications and over 70 had been hospitalized in the county alone.

Currently, over 2000 Hays County patients are still considered active cases.
