The Hays County Commissioners Court voted to accept a grant amendment to the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) for COVID-19 funding to continue the county’s contact tracing program.
Earlier this year, the county accepted more than $300,000 of COVID-19 funding from DSHS set to end in March 2021. DSHS approved a request to amend the grant category budget to utilize funds that were previously committed to supplies and equipment for additional materials and personnel that is needed to continue COVID-19 contact-tracing efforts.
The positions were previously funded with CARES Act funding that ends on Dec. 30, but now will be funded through March 2021.
