The holidays are done, but unfortunately the novel coronavirus is still lingering in the area.
In the county’s latest reports for the first four days of the new year, there are 61 New Cases, 33 Recoveries, 7 New In-Patient hospitalizations, and 89 total COVID-19 hospitalizations.
The 14 day new case count is currently 130, and the TSA Q Hospital Capacity sits at 18.21 percent, which is still over the 15 percent threshold for coronavirus patients.
If the percentage of COVID-19 patients in a hospital region exceeds 15 percent for seven consecutive days, many businesses in the region would be ordered to reduce capacity to 50 percent, and Bars with a TABC 51 percent Red License would be ordered to close in accordance with Gov. Greg Abbott’s statewide orders.
