The CDC’s COVID-19 Community Levels is a new risk-based set of guidelines that can be used to guide behavior during times of low, medium, and high transmission in the community. Although these reports will not be included in the official case counts for Hays County, they will help us have a better understanding of community spread. All information is confidential and no identifying information is collected. You can report your COVID-19 at-home test results by using this link.
If you notice jumps in the cases, hospitalizations, or fatalities on the cumulative tab of the dashboard, please know that this is the result of these data backlogs. This has been the case since the beginning of the pandemic and is a product of data reporting lags from a variety of sources including physicians, hospitals, labs, and other health departments. HCLHD may receive information about COVID-19 days, weeks, or months after the fact.
See the current COVID-19 statistics on our COVID-19 Online Dashboard, which is updated M-F except for county holidays. See the most recent COVID-19 guidelinesfrom our epidemiology team.
