June 9th COVID-19 update:

 

San Augustine now has 45 positive cases confirmed by the Angelina Health District.
I expect our numbers to rise significantly when the Nursing Home Numbers are (finally) released. One nursing home has an unofficial 23 positive cases. That number has NOT been confirmed or added by the Angelina Health District.

 

A recent email from the Health District has this statement: “ Numbers continue to rise, more widespread, touching a variety of employers and employees. Age groups range from early 20’s to the elderly. Contacts to positives are the majority of spread, mostly from face to face contact with no mask.”

 

San Augustine County has 4 positive case deaths. Please continue to pray for and respect the privacy of those directly affected.

 

Avoiding group gatherings and wearing a face covering still is the best defense against this virus.

Take care and God Bless,
