Austin and Travis County’s COVID-19 infectivity rate has been steadily dropping.  Mayor Steve Adler says last week it was 13-percent, and it was 18-percent a week before that.  But the city considers anything above 5-percent to pose a risk to school and business reopenings.
After consecutive days of ongoing declines, Travis County’s overall number of hospitalized coronavirus patients has gone back by by three from a day ago.  There are currently 310 people in the hospital.  285 people have died from the 21,549 cases that have been found.  The number of recoveries is not trailing very far behind, now up to 19,266 since March.
Williamson County’s recovery number grows by a couple-hundred from a day ago. Right now, the county is reporting 5207 recoveries out of the 5832 cases that have been confirmed since March. 61 people are currently in the hospital, but in the past day the hospital bed capacity has grown from 23-percent available to 31-percent.
Since the pandemic began, only 107 of Hays County’s 4893 coronavirus cases have resulted in a person requiring a hospital stay. And today, 23 are hospitalized, 29 deaths have been reported and 2884 cases are still considered active. 1980 have made a recovery.​
