Texas health department reports 3,283 new coronavirus cases - KSAT San Antonio

AUSTIN, Texas – Texas health officials reported 3,283 new cases Saturday of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, along with 121 new deaths from the illness.

The newly reported cases raised the total number of cases since tracking of the virus started in March to 733,438, with an estimated 68,373 cases now active and 3,209 of those requiring hospitalization, the Texas Department of State Health Services reported.

However, the true number of cases is likely higher though because many people haven’t been tested and studies suggest people can be infected and not feel sick
