While many Texans were snowed in their homes last month, operations across Central Texas closed, including COVID-19 testing sites. This has left the state with some of the lowest testing rates seen in months.
However, the state bounced back from both the low temperatures and the low testing numbers.
âAt first, we knew that the terrible winter storm had really decreased testing for those couple of weeks,â explained Amy Mersiovsky, the director of nursing at Texas A&M - Central Texas.
