Today @HoustonHealth reports 1,544 new cases of #COVID19, bringing Houston's risk to 30,965.
The number of deaths increased by 8, bringing the city's total to 277. Of that total, 73 deaths are associated with nursing homes and 3 with the Harris County Jail.
We learned today that @HoustonRockets star @russwest44 tested positive for #COVID19. I want to thank him for sharing a message on social media encouraging people to #maskup.
I want the economy to be open, but we need tti get this virus under control. If we do not want another lockdown, then each of us needs to take more aggressive measures NOW to #slowthespread.
*Stay home as much as possible, and work from home if possible
*Avoid gatherings of more than 10 people
*Do not gather with people outside of your household
*Make sure to keep a 6 foot distance from others and wear a mask when around others
#Rumorcontrol @FireChiefofHFD says there are no fire stations that are closed but there is a stained staffing situation.
Per Local Health Authority Dr. Persse: the positivity rate for #COVID19 in Houston is now nearly 27%. The positivity rate was 14% in March.
🚨 A new #COVID19 testing site has opened at HCC's Felix Fraga campus near Navigation in the East End. It's open all week from 9am-4pm. You don't need symptoms or an appointment to be tested. 🚨
I am requesting a two week shutdown to re-set, look at the data and see where we go from there. We need to get the virus under control before school starts in August.
