**Press Release**
As we have been anticipating, Burnet County has its first confirmed case of COVID-19. This news is not a surprise just as subsequent confirmations will not be. This confirmation was communicated to me at 10am on March 22nd by the Burnet County Local Health Authority, Dr. Juliette Madrigal and is the result of a drive-through test at Baylor Scott & White in Marble Falls. Any information about the patient is protected.
