People getting COVID-19 vaccinations at a vaccination site in Williamson County in March. The number of COVID-19 cases have risen exponentially there in recent weeks, says one local health official.
A new wave of COVID-19 cases is approaching Texas. In some ways, it’s already here, with the state recently reporting a positivity rate of over 10% – something not seen here since February.
Two Texas experts say what’s on the horizon may not just be a wave, but a tsunami of new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, fueled by the delta variant and pockets of unvaccinated people across the state. Ben Neuman, biologist and Global Health Research Complex chief virologist at Texas A&M University, and Allison Stewart, lead epidemiologist for Williamson County and Cites Health District, spoke with Texas Standard about new COVID-19 trends, what to expect in the coming months and how Texans can protect themselves.
