March 24 – started off with a stay at home order issued by Harris County which later in the day saw a spike in positive cases from a large batch of test results. Harris County, including the City of Houston, saw an additional 56 positive cases today. Fort Bend County followed suit in the afternoon issuing their own stay home order after having cases rise by 4. Montgomery County increased their positive cases by 4 and currently is showing 9% of their tests return positive with another 128 tests pending. Brazoria County had 9 positive cases, Galveston 3, Chambers 2 and Liberty holding at one. At this point, every county in the Houston Metro area has at least 1 confirmed positive case identified in Waller and Austin counties.

March 23 – saw a jump in confirmed positive cases, adding 29 cases across the Metro area with 2 confirmed recoveries. Of the 7 counties reporting cases, Fort Bend has the largest increase with 13 new cases, however, Fort Bend did not report new cases on Sunday so we can likely attribute the rise to both increased testing and a reporting lag. The city of Houston reported 1 new case and their first 2 recoveries. Harris county (excluding Houston) reported 3 new cases, Montgomery reported 4 new cases, Brazoria reported 2 new cases, Galveston reported 6 new cases and Liberty and Chambers Counties did not report any additional cases. Montgomery is one of the few counties reporting the number of positive (19), negative (117) and pending (147) tests.
