CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital — San Marcos is reportedly at capacity on any given day for COVID-19 patients, Director of Public Safety Chase Stapp announced at a special called San Marcos City Council meeting Thursday.
Hays County COVID-19 patients needing to be hospitalized have been diverted to Austin and San Antonio hospitals up until last week, after a week of record breaking cases state-wide and hospitals in Houston coming very close to full capacity. San Antonio has seen 500% increase in hospitalizations this month.
“What we are seeing in Texas this week is alarming,” Stapp said. “Tuesday and Wednesday both set new records for largest single day increase in new cases.”
