Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information

COF-Vaccine-logoVaccine Information

(February 12, 2021) The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) has not allocated additional vaccine to the City of Frisco.  As a result, Frisco’s Vaccine Hub at Stonebriar Centre remains closed.  Frisco’s Vaccine Team is committed to working to improve processes and remains ready to distribute more vaccine when made available by DSHS. Visit our Vaccine Information page for the latest on the City of Frisco's vaccine. 

City of Frisco will use its city newsletter,  Focal Point,  to alert subscribers when online registration is available.  Again, the City of Frisco does not host its own ‘waitlist’. Instead, our city uses our newsletter / e-news subscriber platform to alert folks when vaccine may be available at the City of Frisco Vaccine Hub. Follow this link to subscribe to Focal Point.

Please check the Texas Department of State Health Services website for a full list of vaccine providers.

TSA-E Hospitalization Rates

(February 26, 2021) Texas Department of State Health Service's Website reports that the TSA-E region (including Collin & Denton Counties) has had seven consecutive days in which the number of COVID‑19 hospitalized patients as a percentage of total hospital capacity has been 15 percent or less.  Per Governor Abbott’s Executive Order GA-32 , businesses may re-open up to 75% capacity.

What does TSA-E stand for?  

What happens if we (TSA-E) reach a COVID-19 hospitalization rate of 15%?

  •  Nothing changes until our region maintains a 15% or higher COVID-19 hospitalization rate for seven ( 7 ) consecutive days. 

What happens if we (TSA-E) get to 15% for 7 consecutive days?  

  • Businesses must limit their occupancy rate to 50%, per the Governor’s Executive Order 32 (issued Oct. 7, 2020).    
  • Hospitals must postpone all surgeries and procedures not considered “medically necessary” to diagnose or correct a serious medical condition or preserve life, per the Governor’s Executive Order 31 (issued Sept. 17, 2020).   
  • Hospitals must reserve at least 10-percent of its hospital capacity to treat COVID-19 patients. A hospital may reserve less than 10-percent of its capacity for COVID-19 patients if it belongs to a ‘hospital system’ (more than one hospital) where the cumulative capacity reserved throughout the system is at least 10 percent, per the Governor’s Executive Order 31 (issued Sept. 17, 2020).   

When can businesses go back to operating at 75% capacity?

  • Not until the TSA-E’s COVID-19 hospitalization rate is below 15% for 7 consecutive days.
