COVID-19 claims first Kerr County life in July

Kerr County's COVID-19 death toll ticked up again with a fatality reported on July 3 by the Texas Department of State Health Services.

The fatality is at least the 41st in 2022 related to COVID-19. There was a death at the Kerrville State Hospital, but the date is unclear. This is the first death in July. After a break in COVID-19 fatalities, the virus reared its head in June, claiming two lives last month.

COVID-19 continues to infect thousands of Texans; on Wednesday, more than 8,000 people tested positive. The dominant variant is BA.5, infecting more than half of all people. The number of active cases in Kerr County is unclear, but it's likely far higher than the 29 reported by the DSHS.
