Another recent traveler on an Egypt cruise ship tested positive for the new coronavirus in Harris County on Sunday, according to a county press release.

Travelers who were on that trip currently make up all 12 confirmed cases in the Houston area. bit.ly/38HSdOU
Today, a man in Collin County also tested positive for the respiratory virus.

He is thought to have caught it while traveling in California, making him the first in Texas to have contracted it domestically. bit.ly/38HSdOU
Aside from the above cases, the only confirmed cases so far in the state are 11 confirmed cases for evacuees who were repatriated and held at San Antonio Lackland Air Force Base. bit.ly/38HSdOU
All of the Texas cases have so far been travel-related, and there is still no evidence of community spread in the state. #coronavirus #COVID19 bit.ly/38HSdOU

Breaking: Local health officials said they did not know how a Houston-area man who tested positive for the new coronavirus this week had become infected, suggesting the possibility of the first signs of community spread of the virus within Texas. bit.ly/2vbTboE
Montgomery health officials said it's unclear where the patient caught the new coronavirus, but he did not recently travel outside of Texas.

Other cases identified in Texas have been linked to international and domestic travel. bit.ly/2vbTboE
The case raises questions about the number of unknown infections in Texas, given that government testing capacity for the #COVID19 disease remains limited. bit.ly/2vbTboE

THREAD: What happens when you start feeling sick during an infectious disease outbreak but you don't have health insurance?

Texas has the highest share of uninsured residents of any state.

Here’s how that complicates the #COVID19 response. bit.ly/2vU1xle
2/ Republican leaders in Texas have for years opposed expanding publicly funded health insurance coverage to the poor.

Roughly 5 million Texans don’t have health insurance — a disproportionately large share of people. bit.ly/2vU1xle
3/ Public health experts say financial constraints could prevent millions of Texans from seeing doctors to get tested or treated — or could make it difficult for them to stay home from work even if they feel ill. bit.ly/2vU1xle
