Max 26 tests per day.

“The case raises questions about the number of unknown infections in Texas, given that government testing capacity for the COVID-19 disease remains limited. State officials estimated they had conducted “hundreds” of tests in recent weeks, but the largest public health lab in Texas is able to conduct a maximum of just 26 tests per day.”

“Dozens of Montgomery County residents are being tracked by public health workers, officials said, and Montgomery Independent School District will cancel classes beginning Thursday, ahead of spring break.”

Is that all the tests they have or is that the lab’s capacity? If that is the public health labs capacity, then the state needs to coordinate with LabCorp and other labs.

Tracked?

Is that like monitoring a bank robbery?

Second presumptive case in Dallas Co. is close contact of the first so is “expected and is not cause for concern”.
