San Angelo Health Department statistics indicate COVID-19 testing fell in half since April 11th. Local Health Authority Dr. James Vretis lamented the drop on KLST yesterday. Dr. Vretis hopes to test employer and other groups to better understand the prevalence of COVID-19 in our community. He indicated tests are available for the public at Shannon's remaining drive up testing location at the corner of Beauregard and Oakes Street in downtown San Angelo. It is open every day from 9 am to 5 pm.
With fewer tests being conducted the number of positive cases remained at 41 for the last six days. However, six of the last nine positive cases were the result of community spread.
Update 4-24-20: The City reported a 42nd case of COVID-19, a woman in her 40's who was diagnosed in another state. She lists her residence as San Angelo and that is why her case is added to the total for Tom Green County.
