Covid Delta variant found in Williamson County

COVID 19 HOSPITALIZATIONS UT PREDICTION GETTING WORSE

Three cases of the Covid-19 Delta Variant from India have been found in Williamson County.

County Health officials say this is unsurprising, “given how rapidly it spreads,” said the Williamson County and Cities Health District ‘s Allison Stewart. Officials say the Delta variant is 60% more infectious than the UK variant.

Stewart added there is some good news, “the mRNA vaccines have been proven to be highly effective against this variant. The concern locally is that we have more than half the county that isn’t vaccinated and whom are still highly susceptible to this variant.”

Williamson County is still in Yellow Phase and health leaders continue to ask that you get vaccinated.
