Health Ashlie Renner, research technician, prepares a Polymerase Chain Reaction tray while working with Dr. Pedro Piedra on Thursday, April 9, 2020 at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. BCM is working on an experimental therapy transfusing the blood plasma of people who’ve recovered from COVID-19 into patients fighting the disease. Baylor and the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center are partnering to make the potentially therapeutic plasma available to hospitals that get the Food and Drug Administration’s permission to transfuse it into patients. Baylor will screen and test interested donors and the blood center will collect the plasma and get it to hospitals.

Harris County late Friday released a list of confirmed coronavirus cases by municipality. It’s the first data released that maps the cases location.


The list only includes cities — or parts of cities — within Harris County, so places like Texas City, where the virus has spread to 56 residents and employees of a nursing home, are not included. Texas City is in Galveston County.


Some of the cities are spread across more than one county. League City, for example, is primarily in Galveston County. It has 110 confirmed cases, but is shown here as having only 1 case.


The county’s most recent data show 3,261 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 40 deaths.
