The good news was negative.

Each of the 94 people who tested at the first mobile COVID-19 testing site in Blanco County came back with negative results, meaning they do not have the virus, the county’s emergency management reported last Friday.

The first mobile testing in the county was held May 2 in Johnson City. A second testing event was held May 12 in Blanco, and those results won’t be known until later.

“These results are great news for Blanco County, as it shows that the actions that have been taken in our community are clearly having an impact and helping to stop the spread of COVID-19,” Blanco County Emergency Management said. “While every negative test result is something to be proud of, it is important that we do not become complacent. COVID-19 still exists in our community, and cases are continuing to rise throughout the State of Texas. We must continue working as a community to keep Blanco County safe.”

As of Thursday night, emergency management reported there has been six confirmed COVID-19 cases to date in Blanco County, with five recoveries. There have been 19 likely cases of the virus in the county, with 16 recoveries. Confirmed cases refer to those which have been confirmed by testing. Likely cases refer to those who have had symptoms of the virus, but have not had lab confirmation of the virus.

BCEM gave an update about eight people in the southern part of the county who had positive antibody tests, meaning they had the virus at some point. They all underwent further testing, which was negative, and have not had any symptoms. All of the individuals in question have completed a self-isolation quarantine period, BCEM reported.

These eight people aren’t counted as confirmed cases because antibody testing does not meet the requirements for a confirmed case.
