DSHS reports Kerr County COVID-19 death from January

Kerr County's COVID-19 death toll climbed again on Friday when the Texas Department of State Health Services reported a death from late January.

The fatality was the 19th in January and 37th in 2022, but it also demonstrates the ongoing backlog of reporting experienced by DSHS. The death happened, most likely in San Antonio, on Jan. 24. It has not been uncommon for the agency to report deaths a month or longer after the fatality.

More than 200 people have died from COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic in 2020, but DSHS only counts 182 deaths because it does not track nursing homes or other care facilities in its tally.

While COVID-19 cases continue to fall across Texas, DSHS data suggests that Kerr County is still susceptible to the virus. Over the last week, at least 80 people tested positive for COVID-19 in Kerr County.
