The county also added 417 new confirmed cases, bringing the total to 30,469.
Counted deaths are of those who have COVID-19 listed as a direct cause of death on the death certificate. The total does not include deaths of people who had COVID-19 but died of an unrelated cause, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services dashboard. This method may delay reporting by weeks or even months due to paperwork, county health officials have said.
Due to rapid changes in hospital surge resources and the inability to ensure the accuracy of self-reported local-level hospital data on capacity, the WCCHD dashboard changed its reporting to reflect hospital usage from the Trauma Service Area O, which includes Williamson County and 10 other counties.
In TSA O, there are 638 coronavirus hospital beds available, or 17%, and 55 ICU beds available, or 11% of total beds, it said.
Of the total cases reported, 28,367 are estimated to have recovered, and there are an estimated 1,801 active cases. There are 4,277 total probable cases.
The current rolling seven-day positivity rate, or the rate at which tests for the coronavirus return positive, is 12.95%.
Recoveries are not reported to the state’s contact tracing and data system; therefore, recovery information is not absolute and is to be used for estimating purposes only, according to the WCCHD website. No trends or other inferences should be drawn from this data, as the numbers posted represent a point-in-time snapshot and may fluctuate throughout the day, it said.

- Austin: 2,254
