Texas reported 4,320 COVID-19-related hospitalizations on Saturday, a high not seen since mid-March, when the state’s numbers began trending downward. The delta variant makes up most new cases in Texas.
"Unlike previous surges, this time we have safe, powerfully effective vaccines and plenty of them," Hellerstedt said. "We know how to vaccinate millions of Texans in a short period of time. We can see the danger coming on fast. But this time, we can stop it in its tracks." About 12.5 million Texans have been fully vaccinated against the virus, while 60.1% of the state population ages 12 and older have received at least one shot. Across the state, hospital workers are bracing for the worst, with some COVID-19 wards quickly filling up again.More Related News
