A spokesman for the health agency said the state may see a “big increase” in new cases this week as more local jurisdictions report data after the holiday weekend.

, just 17 days after crossing the 100,000 threshold, a figure that took the state nearly four months to hit.

“There were a lot of jurisdictions that didn’t report new cases with the holiday weekend, particularly on Saturday, which would have showed up in yesterday’s update,” agency spokesman Chris Van Deusen said in an email. In addition to 200,557 confirmed infections to date, state health officials Monday reported 8,698 COVID-19 hospitalizations, a record high for the eighth consecutive day.

On Sunday, Austin Mayor Steve Adler told the American-Statesman that the Austin-area’s intensive care units could be overrun in the next 10 to 14 days if hospitalizations continue increasing at their current pace. Officials in San Antonio, Houston and Dallas issued similar warnings. The Texas Department of State Health Services on Monday reported 43 available ICU beds for the trauma service area that includes Starr and three other counties.

The agency reported 18 new deaths Monday, bringing the statewide virus death toll to 2,655. It’s a nearly 74% increase since Memorial Day, when officials reported a total of 1,527 coronavirus-related deaths.
