AUSTIN (KXAN) — Austin’s top doctor is sounding the alarm as COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations rise again in Central Texas.

Escott said at the current rate Central Texas is moving, models predict the area will be at the same mark as it was this summer, when health officials were concerned about running out of space in hospitals.

Beyond celebrating holidays, Escott said Central Texans will need to curb unsafe behavior resulting from pandemic fatigue if they want schools and businesses to stay open.

Escott said recent spikes in cases in people ages 10-19 and 20-29 are partly to blame.

The health authority said this week, Austin-Travis County and surrounding areas are closer to the middle of Stage 3 than in weeks past, with the potential the community will move back into Stage 4 of its risk-based guidelines in the coming weeks if people do not take more precaution.
