LEFT: Colorado County Commissioners and County Judge, along with members of Appreciation for a Clean Environment (ACE). RIGHT: Becka Edminson of Turtle Wing Foundation and Colorado County Judge Ty Prause as Colorado County proclaimed April as Autism Aware
The Memorandum of Understand with Lavaca County for the COVID-19 Sub-Hub Vaccination Program was approved at the Mar. 8 Colorado County Commissioners Court.
Colorado County Office of Emergency Management Coordinator Charles “Chuck” Rogers said to date approximately 4.3 percent of the county’s population has been vaccinated.
In other court action:
- A proclamation was issued for Autism Awareness month in Colorado County for April. Turtle Wing Foundation Becka Edminson was in court to hear and accept the proclamation for Autism Awareness Month.
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.
