`
`TEXARKANA, Texas - The number of people hospitalized with COVlD-19 is trending down in the
`
`Texarkana area, which means bars can reopen, elective surgeries can be scheduled, and
`
`businesses can increase their capacity to 75 percent.

`

`Bowie County Judge Bobby Howell recently received a letter by the Texas Commissioner of Health
`
`informing him that the area was no longer an area of high hospitalizations.
`
`Wednesday marked the 7th day in a row that the Texarkana trauma service area had a COVID-19
`
`inpatient rate below 15 percent of total hospital beds available.
`
`Trauma Service Area "F" includes Bowie, Cass, Delta, Hopkins, Lamar, Morris, Red River and Titus
`
`counfies.
`
`Howell says it's critical that residents continue to follow COVID-19 safety precautions.
`
`"It's good news that we're seeing a downturn in our COVID hospitalizations, however we still need to
`
`be cautious, just because their below 15% that doesn't mean they've gone away," said Howell.
`
`The Texarkana region is still subject to
`
`Governor Greg Abbott's executive order,
`
`which means if the hospitalization rate goes
`
`back above 15 percent for seven consecutive
`
`days, the restrictions will be put back in place.
`
`of these new variants start showing up here
`
`that spread more rapidly, hopefully we can

`
`
`stay down. I hope we can get more vaccines and get a handle on the whole COVID situation," said
`
`Howell.
`
`Howell says getting everyone vaccinated has been their greatest challenge.
`
`He says numerous providers have qualified to give the vaccine, but the supply has been limited.
`
`The Bowie County Family Health Center and CHRISTUS Saint Michael Health System were the
`
`only providers this week to get any of the vaccine.
`
`"One week we had about four different providers that had a few vaccines and then we went two
`
`weeks where we didn't get any vaccine in Bowie County," explained Howell.
`
`Howell says they're also working with the state to hopefully become a rural vaccination hub.
