As Texas struggles to contain the spread of COVID-19, the state reported a record high in deaths related to the virus and hospitalizations continued to rise Thursday.

The state reported 9,782 new cases and 105 deaths, setting a new single-day record, according to Texas Department of State Health Services data. The most cases the state has had in a single day is 10,028, which was reported Tuesday. The state’s seven-day average testing positivity rate is at 15.56%.

Hospitalizations rose to 9,689, a new high, according to state data. COVID-19 patients occupy about 17% of all available beds. Experts have attributed the surge in hospitalizations in part to gatherings and holiday weekends.
