Two new cases were added to the positive COVID-19 results by the Clarendon Family Medical Center this week, bringing the total positives to 27.
Two other cases were classified as recovered on Tuesday, which made the current active cases total five. Two cases were pending.
The Texas National Guard held a walk-up testing at the Bulldog Gym at Clarendon College Tuesday. Donley County Judge John Howard, MD, reported that a total of 86 tests were conducted.
Results of the National Guard tests are expected to be available by the end of the week, Howard said.
Speaking at Monday night’s town hall meeting, Howard encouraged people to get tested the next day.
“Two weeks ago we had zero active cases, now we have six,” Howard said Monday and wondered aloud if there might have been silent spread of the virus after the Fourth of July.
He also addressed those who say more testing leads to more positives.
“I’m a scientist; I prefer more information over a lack of information,” Howard said.
