Updated 4:28pm: The Texas DSHS Covid-19 Dashboard updated at 2:50pm today and the number of active cases increased to 157. The dashboard gave the following disclaimer as to why the data hasn't been updated since December 30th.
"The case counts for Dec. 31 – Jan. 4 include backlogged lab reports from last week (12/27 – 12/31). Due to the rapid increase in COVID-19 lab tests, the system that processes electronic lab reports and identifies new cases was running slower for three days last week. DSHS identified ways to streamline the algorithm that identifies new cases, which dramatically improved the system’s processing speed. The system will finish processing all lab reports older than one day on Tuesday, Jan. 4."
