The Texas Department of State Health Services said a Kerr County resident died on Dec. 9 from the coronavirus â the county s 46th death.
The death toll is a provisional estimate compiled by The Kerrville Daily Times based on data from Peterson Health, DSHS, Texas Health and Human Services and the Department of Veterans Affairs â none of which have the same reporting standards. DSHS puts the death toll at 29 â not counting two recent deaths from Peterson Health. In turn, Peterson Health doesn t always recognize deaths reported by DSHS. Neither the county and Peterson have recognized 11 deaths at Kerrville-area nursing homes and four deaths at the Kerrville Veterans Affairs Medical Center.Â
