COVID-19 claims 2nd Kerr County resident in June

Kerr County reported its second COVID-19 death in June when the Texas Department of State Health Services released data Monday. The latest death happened on June 17 — the second that week.

Where those deaths happened remains unclear. Peterson Health has ceased regularly reporting about COVID-19. Data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services suggests at least five people hospitalized at Peterson Regional Medical Center through June 17. The emergency department saw about 10-15 patients per day with COVID-19 complaints.

The Texas DSHS places Kerr County's death toll at 185, which is believed not to include deaths at nursing homes and assisted living centers. Kerr County's actual death toll may be more than 225 people. At least 40 people have died of COVID-19 in Kerr County this year.
