As temperatures increased Saturday in Central Texas, many residents found themselves trading in one problem — extended power outages — for another — little or no water.
Six more Bell County residents are reported to have died from COVID-19, as the region’s active cases fell to 1,266 active cases — the fewest concurrent infections since early December.
The Bell County Public Health District announced 11 new COVID-19 related deaths on Monday, as cumulative cases near 20,000. Active cases dropped to 1,370 â 137 fewer than its last update on Friday.
On Thursday, Health District Director Amanda Robison-Chadwell said local health officials anticipated that COVID-19 related deaths in Bell County would rise.
âI expect to see more added for the next several days as we receive certificate updates from our period of high hospitalizations,â she said at the time.
The county death toll is now 276.
Bell County has now totaled 19,669 cases, and at least 18,299 people have recovered to date, according to the health district.
Although Bell Countyâs active COVID-19 cases fell to 1,761 on Wednesday, local health officials identified nine more related deaths.
These latest reported deaths were for two men from Temple in their 70s, a woman from Temple in her 80s, a man from Belton in his 80s, two men from Killeen in their 40s, a man from Killeen in his 50s, a man from Killeen in his 60s and a woman in her 60s from Harker Heights, according to the Bell County Public Health District.
