SAN ANTONIO San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg updated the community on Thursday night in the daily information session on the local response to COVID-19.
Nirenberg reported 201,273 total COVID-19 cases and 2,995 total deaths in Bexar County, an increase of 77 new cases as of Wednesday. No new deaths were reported today. The mayor says the lower case count is attributed to the delay in Curative Labs results.
