SAINT ANTHONY – San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg and Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff briefed the community on the local response to COVID-19 during their daily briefing on Sunday evening.

The number of cases today was significantly lower than in recent weeks; However, Nirenberg said it was likely the result of a delay in receiving test results from the state.
