Today, @HoustonHealth reports 158 new cases of #COVID19, bringing Houston's total top 63,834.
There are 8 newly reported deaths, bringing the total of COVID-19 deaths to 820.
Please get tested. Please #maskup. Remember, you face a $250 fine if you're not wearing a mask in public.
🚨 Hospitilizations have declined from a record high in July and today, Houston's #COVID19 positivity rate is 7.8%. That's down from about 20% at the start of August. 🚨
Our goal was to lower the positivity rate to 5% at the end of August. We ate close, but we are not there.
#LaborDay is approaching and many people will take the long weekend to visit with faculty and friends or travel. But we cannot relax to #stopthespread of virus.
Celebrations around the Memorial Day and July Fourth weekends helped the virus spread in our community.
