Bell records 141st COVID-19 related death; non-essential travel discouraged

Despite the first 3,900 doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine arriving at Baylor Scott & White on Tuesday, the hospital system stressed that residents need to remain vigilant.  “That is something that we do have to stress because the vaccine is just one tool in a tool kit,” said Dr. Stephen Sibbitt, chief medical officer for Baylor Scott & White–Temple region. “We absolutely endorse the continued use of masks, physical distancing, staying away from crowds and washing your hands.” But the Bell County Public Health District took that guidance a step further on Wednesday and discouraged non-essential travel, as it identified its 141st COVID-19 related death.
