Hays County reported 12 new lab-confirmed COVID-19 cases Wednesday, raising the active count to its highest-recorded amount.
The county currently has 92 active cases and has seen 250 total cases, according to county epidemiologist Eric Schneider.
The Hays County Local Health Department has received 2,629 negative tests and has 254 tests pending. Schneider said many of the test results pending are from tests conducted at nursing homes. He also said Wednesday that 94 of the 96 tests conducted in Dripping Springs and Wimberley on May 10 came back negative. Only two results came back positive and those individuals have been quarantining since the day of the tests, Schneider said. One of the individuals who tested positive has already re-tested and came back with a negative result.
