We have some good news to tell you all about in the fight against the coronavirus.

Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo lowered the county’s COVID-19 Threat Level from Orange to Yellow as indicators demonstrate a further decrease in cases, hospitalizations, and positivity rates.

Yellow, which is Level 3, signifies a moderate, but controlled level of COVID-19 transmission in Harris County. Unvaccinated residents are urged to get their vaccine to help avoid a winter spike. They remain at higher risk and should remain vigilant while continuing to mask and observe social distancing measures.

Hidalgo released a statement saying,

“As the holiday season moves into full swing, I encourage everyone to do their part to help us avoid a winter spike other areas are facing. Vaccines for everyone, including children, as well as booster shots are now widely available on-demand across Harris County. Celebrate this amazing time with the peace of mind that you’re doing what is right to protect yourself, your family and your friends by getting vaccinated.”

The COVID-19 vaccine and vaccine booster continues to be available at no charge for all Harris County residents.
