COVID-19 Numbers Continue To Fall In Hopkins County, Northeast Texas Area
CMFH-SS COVID Unit Empty, No New COVID-19 Cases Reported April 5 For Hopkins County
COVID-19 numbers continue to fall in Hopkins County and the Northeast Texas area. For the first time since Hopkins County/Sulphur Springs Emergency Management began reporting the data late last summer, not only were there no COVID-19 patients in the local hospital’s COVID-19 unit, the state also reported no new COVID-19 cases reported on Monday for Hopkins County. cumulative
So far in April, Texas Department of State Health Services has reported 10 confirmed COVID-19 cases (eight on Thursday and one each on Friday and Saturday) and three probable cases on Thursday. A total of 13 confirmed cases and 10 probable COVID-19 cases were reported March 1-5, 2021, for Hopkins County; 51 confirmed and 40 probable cases Feb. 1-5; 54 confirmed and 43 probable cases Jan. 1-5; and 81 confirmed cases along Dec. 1-5.
In April of 2020, the pandemic was just beginning in Hopkins County. A total of 89 Hopkins county residents had been COVID-19 tested on April 6, up from 76 on April 2. Of those four people had tested positive for the novel coronavirus 2019, 65 received negative results and 20 county residents were still waiting on the results of their COVID-19 test, HC/SSEM officials reported.
A total of 1,579 Hopkins County residents have been lab-confirmed by molecular (viral) testing to have COVID-19 since March 27, 2020, the day the very first Hopkins County resident was confirmed to have COVID-19. As more people began getting the quicker antigen tests in the fall, the state began tracking probable COVID-19 cases. DSHS didn’t begin reporting probable cases daily on the S Case Counts dashboard until Dec. 11, starting with all 963 probable cases counted since the fall. Overall, a total of 1,453 probable cases have been reported among Hopkins County residents, for a combined total (confirmed nd probable) of 3,032 COVID-19 cases reported for Hopkins County as of April 11.
While no new cases were reported, that does not mean, however, that there are no COVID-19 cases. According to DSHS, 141 Hopkins County residents had COVID-19 on April 5, 31 less active cases than on March 5, 49 less than on Feb. 5, 56 less than on Jan. 5. These numbers include COVID-19 cases confirmed by molecular lab testing and probable cases from individuals who have either tested positive through an antigen test or have a combination of symptoms and a known exposure to someone with COVID-19 without a more likely diagnosis.
As of April 5, only 2,784 of the total 3,032 Hopkins County residents who’ve had COVID-19 since March 27, 2020 have recovered from the virus. So far this month, four have recovered from the virus. We are definitely on the right track. Recoveries outpaced new COVID-19 cases in March, with 98 new cases but 121 recoveries.
The lab-confirmed COVID-19 patient count for Region F Trauma Service Area, which spans across Northeast Texas to Hopkins County, has also declined significantly over the last few months. On April 4, only 14 lab-confirmed COVID-19 patients occupied beds at hospitals across TSA F. CMFH-SS’ COVID unit had double digit figures alone through March 1, when 10 patients were reported, and 14 patients on Feb. 8-9. The lab-confirmed COVID-19 patients count for Trauma Service Area F hasn’t been that low since May 31, when Hopkins County’s cumulative total was only 21 COVID-19 cases since March 27, 2020 (892 had been tested, with 635 positive, 6 recovered and 237 were waiting on test results).
As of April 4, a total of 10,865 people in Hopkins County had received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, which is 368 more than on April 1 and nearly double the 5,169 reported on March 3.
On April 4, 4,072 people in Hopkins had been fully vaccinated for COVID-19, which is 264 more than on April 1, 1,748 more than on March 3 and 3,724 more than on Feb. 4; no one in Hopkins County had been fully vaccinated for COVID-19 by Jan. 4, in fact, Jan. 4 was the first time anyone in Hopkins was reported to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19, and only tow who’d received the vaccine at another facility. By the end of January, however, 324 people in Hopkins County had been fully vaccinated for COVID-19.
The first time anyone in Hopkins County was reported to have received the first dose of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine was on Dec. 20, when three people in healthcare/emergency services received the shot at an out-of-county facility; the number receiving the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine increased to 256 for Hopkins by New Year’s Eve. On Jan. 4, that number rose to 294 and by Jan. 31, 1,784 people in Hopkins had gotten the first dose of the vaccine. On Feb. 4, a total of 1,877 people in Hopkins County had received the first dose and were awaiting the second dose of COVID-19 vaccine. On March 3, a total of 3,372 people in Hopkins County had received the first dose of the vaccine and were waiting to get the second dose.
Hopkins County has also been fortunate in that not only are fewer people getting the virus and fewer of those who do are having to be hospitalized, but there have also been no new confirmed COVID-19 deaths announced for Hopkins County since March 12, when DSHS received confirmation of a 107th Hopkins County COVID-19 fatality. Three COVID-19 deaths have been confirmed for March, two on March 2 and one on March 6. Fewer COVID-19 deaths have been reported for Hopkins County in each of the past three months as well, dropping from 26 fatalities in December 2020 to 15 Hopkins County residents who died in January, and five in February.

380 Agreements, Grant Application On City Council April 6 Agenda
Executive Session Scheduled To Consider 2 Economic Development Projects
The Sulphur Springs City Council April 6 agenda is full, starting with an executive session to discuss two potential economic development projects, then during the regular session will consider numerous items, including 380 agreements, sewer line bores for Saputo’s grant project, naming a street, the annual audit, a payment plant for utility customers, submission of a grant application, a zoning request, an ordinance restricting parking on one street, a grant easement at the park.
The executive session is slated to begin at 6:15 p.m. with executive session to discuss two potential economic development project, identified as Project Hold Fast and Project Flourish. Should any project be pushed forward from the executive session for action, the City Council would take action on it during the regular session.
The City Council is scheduled to reconvene in the council chambers in the Municipal Building (City Hall) in open session at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
Slated to be presented for City Council approval are resolutions approving 380 agreements for four different properties: 207 West Ross Street, 209 West Ross Street, 613 Lamar Street and 202 West Beckham Street.
A resolution is proposed to name a street Patricia Lane. The council is also asked to consider a proposal for streetlight audit services.
Bids for sewer line bore for the Community Development Block Grant Project for the Saputo expansion are expected to be presented at the April 6 meeting, with a recommendation by city staff regarding the bids. The Council then can determine whether or not to award a contract for the service.
As indicated by City Manager Marc Maxwell at the March 2021 City Council meeting, city staff as recommended a resolution that would establish a payment plan for city utility customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In March, Maxwell indicated the recommendation will likely ask individual to pay their current bill along with 1/12th of the owed amount, that way it can be caught up within 1 year. The official proposal will be presented at Tuesday’s meeting for council consideration.
Time has been designated during the meeting to hear any public comments regarding a resolution approving submission of a TCBG program application to Texas Department of Agriculture CD Fund and authorizing the city manager to act as the city’s representative on it.
Donnie and Allen Wisenbaker are asking the city to zone their property on northwest Rockdale Road and State Highway 19 from single family to heavy commercial.
The Wisenbakers in March asked the Planning & Zoning Commission to consider rezoning the 11.74 acres, which consists of two tracts, to accommodate existing uses and future uses along the SH 19 corridor. The property is surrounded by a mix of zoning designations, from light commercial to the east and the south, single family to the west, and light industrial to the north.
City staff told the P&Z Commission at the March meeting that given the context of the area, heavy commercial is an appropriate use for the property. It also fits in with the land use plan of commercial along Highway 19, Community Development Director Tory Niewiadomski told the P&Z Commission.
The request was approved by the Commission, who has recommended it to the City Council for approval.
An ordinance is expected to be proposed restricting parking in the 200 block of Tomlinson Street.
The city is being asked to grant Oncor Electric Delivery LLC an easement at Coleman Park and to approve rules for electronic receipt of bids an proposals.
The City Council too will be asked to approve the purchase of a dump truck for the utilities department.
Also slated to be discussed during the City Council April 6 meeting is the 2019-2020 independent audit.

They then contacted the woman and man inside the Chevrolet Malibu, according to arrest reports.
Deputies reported the woman in the car displayed nervous body language by continuously fidgeting and speaking rapidly. When asked for identification, the man allegedly became argumentative toward officers. While Fite waited for HCSO dispatchers to conduct a records check after obtaining the pair’s ID, the woman passenger allegedly admitted to Marney that there was marijuana in the car, the deputies wrote in arrest reports.
Deputies had both step so that deputies could conduct a probable cause search of the car.

Four Hopkins County Teens Arrested On Organized Criminal Activity Charge
Four Hopkins County teens were arrested Sunday night on Main Street for allegedly engaging in organized criminal activity, according to arrest reports.
Sulphur Springs Police Department Special Crimes Unit began an investigation into alleged possession and distribution of narcotics. During the investigation, the SCU investigators began contacting the youth for the purchase of cocaine and Xanax. The contact was made via cell phone texting. The SCU investigators parked in a parking lot in the 1200 block of Main Street, according to arrest reports.
When 19-year-old Andrew Michael “Hootie” Magnuson of Sulphur Springs went to get into the front seat of the SCU investigators unmarked unit around 10:30 p.m. Easter Sunday, April 4, 2021, Magnuson was confronted by officials. He allegedly ran and was “taken to the ground next to the suspect vehicle.” During the incident, he allegedly threw 5.8 grams of a white substance the SCU investigators believed to be fake dope as well as a 40-ounce Modelo beer, SCU Detective Sgt. Joe Scott and Lt. Mark Estes alleged in arrest reports.
A search of Magnuson allegedly revealed 0.8 gram of a white substance that field-tested positive for cocaine in Magnuson’s front pocket and 1.6 grams of suspected Alprazolam pills in his sock. All suspected cocaine recovered has been designated for shipping to a lab for analysis by experts to determine content.
The three other occupants of the Honda Civic Magnuson had arrived in were removed from car and identified as 19-year-old Bryer Ray Parnell of Como, 17-year-old Makayla Rae McGregor of Sulphur Springs and 18-year-old Makayla Ruby Buchanan of Cumby. After all suspects were read their rights, three of the four teen allegedly admitted they knew about the planned controlled substance transaction and indicated that all four knew about it.
“During the investigation, it was obvious to investigators that all suspects knew they were traveling to the location to sell narcotics,” the SCU investigators alleged in arrest reports.
Consequently, Magnus, Parnell, McGregor and Buchanan were taken into custody at 10:51 p.m. April 4 and transported to jail, where there were booked around midnight for engaging in organized criminal activity. Sulphur Springs Police Department patrol officers assisted SCU in the takedown and transport of the teens to jail.
All four teens remained in Hopkins County jail Monday morning, April 5, 2021, on the felony organized criminal activity charge.
Overnight Sunday was the second time in less than a year that Magnuson has been jail in Hopkins County. The 19-year-old Sulphur Springs man spent June 11-July 18, 2020, in the county jail on a possession of less than 1 gram of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance charge.
Parnell was booked into Hopkins County jail five times last year, jail records shows. The 19-year-old Como man was jailed Feb. 23-25, 2020 for possession of 1 gram or more but less than 4 grams of a Penalty Group 2 controlled substance; May 15-17, 2020 on two possession of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance charges; May 20-21, 2020 on a theft of firearm warrant; and Aug. 30-31, 2020 on an assault causing bodily injury to a family member charge.
Parnell was indicted in October on the theft of a firearm charge. The firearm offense is alleged to have occurred on April 6. Parnell was then indicted in November on the two possession of less than 1 gram of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance charges.
The Como teen plead guilty Feb. 23, 2021 to theft of firearm as part of a an agreement in which he admitted guilt to the April 6 theft of firearm charge and the three pending controlled substance charges, which were dropped. Parnell received a sentence of 10 years deferred adjudication on community supervision and a $1,500 fine on the theft of firearm charge, the District Attorney’s Office reported in February.
