The Comal County Office of Public Health performed 1,083 antibody tests, tracked separately, that can reveal previous infections of the virus.
12 of those tests returned positive results but are not included in the county's case count because their residence is not tracked. That figure, provided by the Office of Public Health, is also not representative of all antibody testing done within the county.
