Hays County Epidemiologist Eric Schneider said the county is currently experiencing a second wave of virus cases as new COVID-19 diagnoses continue to climb.
The county has seen an uptick in novel coronavirus cases since the beginning of June, and has recently reported 746 new COVID-19 diagnoses in the last week. Schneider said since the county’s virus report on June 10, 58% of cases reported are from San Marcos residents in the 20-29-year-old range.
“We expected an uptick as businesses, bars, restaurants and local hangouts reopened,” Schneider said during a Wednesday press conference. “But that number is growing faster than expected.”
