TX COVID UPDATE – Texas State health officials say new COVID-19 cases in Texas are rising about as fast as they were before their peaks last July and in late January. Speaking to the Texas Tribune Chief State Epidemiologist Doctor Jennifer Shuford says the increase, underscores how much more contagious the delta variant is.
"Even in the face of having 43 percent of our population fully vaccinated we are still seeing this increase in cases happening as rapidly as we saw previously." Shuford explained.
