The City of San Marcos is working to prepare for another wave of COVID-19 cases in November.
Preparation plans were discussed at a special called San Marcos City Council meeting on Thursday. The city is looking to partner with local clinics to set up more regular testing, potentially once a week on a recurring date.
Rachel Ingle, the city’s emergency management coordinator, is working on finding locations for hospital patients in the event that hospital capacity is overwhelmed. She said currently the local hospitals have all the supplies they need 6-24 hours after requesting and they have been following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's recommendations for stocking up on personal protective equipment in preparation for a second wave.
