For the second consecutive day, the Texas Department of State Health Services reported another Kerr County death related to COVID-19 — this one occurring on Oct. 25.
While the cases have gone down, the death toll continues to climb as DSHS catches up with its reporting. More than 300 deaths formally were reported on Friday by DSHS.
This latest Kerr County fatality drives October's death toll to at least 12 people. Since the pandemic's start, The Lead estimates 197 people in Kerr County have died from COVID-19. The DSHS toll is now 137 — the discrepancy rests with numbers from Peterson Health, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, the Kerrville State Hospital and the Veteran's Affairs Medical Center not added to the official toll.
On Friday, Peterson Health reported declining numbers in new cases and hospitalizations. Five people are hospitalized.
