Episode Synopsis

Travis County coronavirus data released Monday showed continued improvement in hospital numbers for COVID-19. The county recorded 20 new hospital admissions for COVID-19. But the rolling seven-day average of new daily hospital admissions, which helps Austin Public Health determine guidelines for the most medically vulnerable members of the community, dropped to 34 — the lowest average since July 23. The county's highest average for new daily admissions during this most recent surge was 84 on Aug. 11. The average needs to stay below 50 for Austin Public Health to consider the area in less danger of community spread.
