Currently, over a quarter of the COVID-19 cases in Washington County are in the 80-89 and 90-99 age groups. Are any of these folks nursing home residents?
Yes, several patients have been confirmed at one nursing home in Brenham.
Well Brenham is DEFINITELY a new hotspot.
Sadly ppl are still not taking this seriously. The numbers will rise and rise,,there is way more cases out there..This not a vacay,shopping spree time.Alot of ppl still did family Easter gathering thing…..very sad,and more disturbing.
We all have to remember just because it seems like we only report one case, we have no idea how many actually have the virus because testing is low. I myself have had this dry cough for over two weeks and can not get tested. I take it on myself to stay home just in case I could possibly have it and don’t want to infect others. Please people stay home until we are directed otherwise. Until they up the testing, we have no idea who has it or is carrying it. Mask up when going to store and stay home if you can
