SAN MARCOS, Texas (Talk1370.com) -- Hays County has its first presumptive case of COVID-19, officials announced Saturday.
Officials say the patient traveled to multiple cities along the west coast and started experiencing symptoms when they returned home.
"As this is a pandemic disease, we fully expected to see cases in Hays County and have been preparing for this situation," Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra said. "We have been working with local and state officials to ensure that protocols are established and followed, and that we have access to additional resources should they be necessary."
Officials say the patient has been released from the hospital and will self-quarantine at home until they are fever-free for 48 hours without use of fever-reducing medication.
