How to read Covid data now

Higher test positivity rates are a sign that many infections are not reported — even if they are tested for at home. This results in a more severe undercount of cases. The number of hospitalized patients with Covid is a more reliable measure because testing is more consistent in hospitals. Read more about the data.

This calendar shows data through 2022 and will no longer be updated in 2023. The Times will continue to report the data for other displays on this page.

About the data

In data for Texas, The Times primarily relies on reports from the state, as well as health districts or county governments that often report ahead of the state. Texas typically releases new data each day. Weekend counts may be lower because fewer sources report to the state. The state reports cases and deaths based on a person’s permanent or usual residence.

The Times has identified reporting anomalies or methodology changes in the data.

More about reporting anomalies or changes
  • March 15, 2023: Texas finalized case and death counts for 2021, resulting in a total increase in cases after adding previously unreported probable cases and removing duplicates. Total case counts increased or decreased significantly in many counties.
  • Feb. 28, 2023: The Times is using C.D.C. data based on death certificates for locations that do not report deaths regularly or comprehensively. The federal data updates approximately once a month and appears as a spike in deaths on the day it updates.
  • Jan. 4, 2023: The Times is using C.D.C. data based on death certificates for locations that do not report deaths regularly or comprehensively. The federal data updates approximately once a month and appears as a spike in deaths on the day it updates.
  • Nov. 18, 2022: The Times began using state data for Chambers County after local officials stopped reporting data regularly, resulting in a one-time decrease in cases.
  • Nov. 11, 2022: The Times began including death certificate data reconciled by the C.D.C., resulting in a one-day increase in total deaths.
  • April 15, 2022 to April 16, 2022: Texas did not report new data.
  • Jan. 14, 2022: Texas audited cases data from previous years, which added about 26,000 cases to the state total and resulted in one-day increases or decreases in cumulative cases for many counties.
  • Dec. 31, 2021 to Jan. 2, 2022: Texas did not announce new cases and deaths for the New Year's holiday. Some counties reported data independently.
  • Dec. 24, 2021 to Dec. 26, 2021: Texas did not announce new cases and deaths for the Christmas holiday.
  • Dec. 10, 2021: Texas added many cases from earlier in December that had not previously been reported because of a data processing issue.
  • Nov. 25, 2021: Texas did not announce new cases and deaths for the Thanksgiving holiday.
  • Nov. 12, 2021: Texas added many deaths from previous months after reviewing records.
  • Aug. 6, 2021: Texas added around 7,000 probable cases in Cameron County.
  • June 19, 2021 to July 1, 2021: Texas added a backlog of cases in Harrison County.
  • June 9, 2021: Texas added a backlog of cases in Bell and Webb counties.
  • March 25, 2021: Brazos County announced a backlog of about 2,000 cases.
  • Feb. 1, 2021: Texas announced many backlogged cases from unspecified days from Health Region 7 in Central Texas.
  • Dec. 11, 2020: Texas began reporting probable cases, resulting in a one-day increase.
  • Sept. 21, 2020: Texas added a backlog of many cases.
  • July 27, 2020: Texas changed its methodology for reporting coronavirus deaths to use death certificates, causing a spike in the total number by including deaths that were not previously announced.
  • June 16, 2020: Texas added a backlog of 1,476 cases from prison inmates in Anderson and Brazoria Counties.

The tallies on this page include probable and confirmed cases and deaths.

Confirmed cases and deaths, which are widely considered to be an undercount of the true toll, are counts of individuals whose coronavirus infections were confirmed by a molecular laboratory test. Probable cases and deaths count individuals who meet criteria for other types of testing, symptoms and exposure, as developed by national and local governments.

Governments often revise data or report a single-day large increase in cases or deaths from unspecified days without historical revisions, which can cause an irregular pattern in the daily reported figures. The Times is excluding these anomalies from seven-day averages when possible. For agencies that do not report data every day, variation in the schedule on which cases or deaths are reported, such as around holidays, can also cause an irregular pattern in averages. The Times uses an adjustment method to vary the number of days included in an average to remove these irregularities.
