No Grayson County COVID-19 Update Available from DSHS
Governor Greg Abbott has tasked Texas Department of State Health Services with maintaining all COVID-19 case count data for the State of Texas including Grayson County.
Texas DSHS has not updated confirmed case counts for our County since 9/5/2020.
Our local health department case counts and the State case counts never matched. We discovered some cases were duplicated and some cases were missing. As the numbers grew, we decided the only way to resolve the continuing discrepancies was for the State case count to be the only case count. And, as a result, we could use our small local agency resources to increase PCR testing and to support our schools, hospitals, nursing homes and businesses.
We rely on Texas DSHS data to pass on reports to you.
Unfortunately, because of this Texas DSHS error, no active case data can be published and our county positivity rate cannot be accurately calculated.
This error has been reported to DSHS. We hope to have corrected information from then tomorrow.
We know this is a difficult time. We know you need this data to make good decisions. We are pushing to get this corrected with the Texas Department of State Health Services for our community.
