Fort Bend County Judge KP George has lowered the COVID-19 risk level for the county from yellow, or a moderate community risk, to green, or minimum community risk. This news comes from a press conference held March 21.
Changing the risk level to green means that the possibility of exposure to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is minimal and controlled and that new chains of transmission are rare, according to the Fort Bend County coronavirus website.
"I want to be very clear, COVID is still here," George said."COVID is not 100% gone. And we will continue to inform you on what is happening. I've always said this: I am all about transparency and communication with our public. So any changes happening in the threat level, good or bad, it is my job to let you know."
"This is a combined effort from our medical community, our hospital system, our clinics and all our medical partners," George said."I just want to make sure to acknowledge they all played a major role in accomplishing this goal to vaccinate the most people in Fort Bend County." Dr. Jacquelyn Johnson-Minter, director of Fort Bend County Health and Human Services, shared George's caution: Although the threat has been minimized, it does not mean there is no risk to the county's most vulnerable residents.
