Austin/Travis County crosses stage five COVID-19 guidelines
Although the city has passed the threshold to Stage 5, Austin Public Health has not made the official call.
AUSTIN, Texas - In a Monday morning briefing, Austin-Travis County Health Authority Dr. Desmar Walkes expressed concern for the rapidly spreading COVID-19 Delta variant. We are concerned about how rapidly the delta variant is spreading in our community, said Walkes. The Delta variant is a different type of virus that s much more infectious. It s as infectious as chicken pox. And when you have the virus in your body and you re vaccinated, you can pass it on because you have a large amount of it in your system just as much as someone who s unvaccinated at times.
