4 cases of coronavirus confirmed in Williamson County; gathering restrictions reduced to 10 people; food establishments ordered to close common dining areas

Four cases of the coronavirus were reported in Williamson County on March 18, county officials confirmed.

At this stage information is very limited, and Williamson County and Cities Health District will share more as it becomes available and necessary to protect the health of the public, a March 18 news release said.

These four individuals are:
  • A female in her 40s who has been self-quarantined;
  • A male in his 50s with exposure to a known case;
  • An infant who is a close contact with a separate known case; and
  • A female in her 40s who has known travel history to France.
“As testing is becoming more widely available, we expect to continue to see more cases,” said Dr. Lori Palazzo, WCCHD medical director, in the release. “Approximately 80% of individuals who test positive [for] COVID-19, including the four cases we received today, experience mild symptoms and fully recover in a few days. The exception to this is our 65 years and older population. I can’t stress strongly enough how important it is to protect this vulnerable population."

New orders by County Judge Bill Gravell limit gatherings to no more than 10 people through May 11, the county website said. This applies to churches, weddings, religious services or activities, concerts, funerals, fundraisers and other similar gatherings, it said.

On March 16, Gravell had issued an order stating a community gathering of 50 people or more in the county was prohibited for eight weeks.

In addition, food establishments are ordered to close common dining areas open to the public until May 11 but are encouraged to provide take-away or no-contact delivery food service designed to limit exposure between individuals, the website said. The holder of a wine and beer retailer’s permit or mixed beverage permit is ordered to close common indoor and outdoor bar spaces open to the public and is prohibited from allowing consumption on the bar premises as well, it said.

Surrounding counties, including Travis and Bell counties, have reported cases.
