Trauma Service Area O, which includes Hays and Travis counties, broke a 15% COVID-19 hospitalization-to-capacity rate for the third consecutive day Tuesday, according to Hays County Emergency Management Coordinator Alex Villalobos.
Villalobos reported the news in Tuesday’s Commissioners Court meeting to alert the commissioners that should the 15% rate continue for seven consecutive days, certain restrictions on places of business, occupations and hospitals will be triggered due to Gov. Greg Abbott’s Executive Order No. 32.
Counties with high hospitalizations are excluded from the reopenings that occurred on Oct. 14, per GA-32. Areas with high hospitalizations means any Trauma Service Area that has had seven consecutive days in which the number of COVID‑19 hospitalized patients as a percentage of total hospital capacity exceeds 15 percent.

With New Year’s Eve only a week away, the burn ban in Hays County remains in effect and officials are urging firework safety.
Hays County Fire Marshal Nathan Mendenhall recommended to the Hays County Commissioners Court to maintain the existing burn ban for the immediate future.
According to Mendenhall, the current average Keetch-Byram Drought Index is at 499 with the high in the county at 586. He added that elevated fire weather conditions caused by low humidity are possible across much of the county later this week.
“Based on current and forecasted conditions, I recommend that the burn ban remain in place,” Mendenhall said.
