For the third consecutive week, no positive tests for the COVID-19 coronavirus were reported in the county, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.

In a notice on Facebook by county judge Robert Skelton, the latest report made on Wednesday listed no new confirmed cases and no cases still active.

However, the report did report two “probable” cases, which is defined as a person who meets clinical criteria but who tests negative.

The COVID-19 dashboard listed 20 total confirmed positive cases since March, with 173 tests administered.

“Please use common sense and good judgment,” Skelton said. “Limit your exposure as much as you can control.”

Officials are urging the public to continue all precautions such as wearing  face coverings, handwashing, and social distancing.
