The CDC website on Monday and Tuesday reported Brazos County had a high pandemic risk.
Parrish said since February 24, the date the CDC used in measuring Brazos County's risk, there has been a decrease in active and probable cases and there are fewer pandemic hospitalizations and a lower hospitalization rate.
Parrish says the most current and accurate pandemic information comes from the county and state websites.
The CDC says a low risk county means residents should get tested if you have symptoms and stay up to date with pandemic vaccines.
