More positive cases pending for Montague County
Active cases of COVID-19 continue to grow in Montague County with six active as of noon Friday, and another eight “pending positive” reports according to Montague County Health Authority Dr. Delbert McCaig.
Of those six active cases, two were scheduled to come out of quarantine on July 17, and the other four on July 19, 20, 22 and 24. McCaig said they will see at least another eight positive cases which were tested at the local clinic.
He has turned those results in to the state health service, but the department is still running about five to eight days to get the information confirmed on where the person is recovering and adding it to the state reporting. These numbers change up to twice a day when the Department of Health and Human Services makes updates.
Montague County remains exempt for the state-mandated masks and continues to reopen some businesses at 75 percent based on active case count. However, if the numbers climb that could change.
Counties with less than 20 active cases were allowed an exemption for masks in public places.
The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
The meeting opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will report on recent rainfall problems, Smythe Street sidewalk project and the substation work.
There is only one item of new business an ordinance related to speed limits on specific streets. Public comments and approval of minutes wrap up the agenda.
