Texas DSHS reports 19th Kerr County COVID-19 death for December
The Texas Department of State Health Services noted Thursday that a person from Kerr County died from COVID-19 on Dec. 20 — the 19th coronavirus-related fatality in December.
While Peterson Health is now taking time off from reporting COVID-19 cases through Christmas, but the state continues to provide updates. Many of Kerr County's deaths have occurred outside of Peterson Regional Medical Center.
The estimated death toll is now 59 people since May. However, December is proving to be the deadliest month yet during the pandemic. Peterson Health officials said they now have the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine and should start administering it to frontline health workers in the days to come.
The active number of cases in Kerr County is now more than 400 people.
