DALLAS COUTNY (WBAP/KLIF NEWS)- COVID-19 cases in the north Texas continue to rise.
Dallas County on Friday once again had a record setting day for new confirmed cases of Coronavirus with 298 being reported, bringing the county total to 11,541. Health officials also reported 10 more deaths, bringing the total number of deaths to 260.
Parkland hospital has decided to open two walk up testing sights in South Dallas. One being in the Red Bird Mall off of South Westmoreland Road and the other being at the Inspired Vision Compassion Center off of North Masers Drive.
“It’s important that we take the testing to where it’s needed most and that is in communities without health coverage due to our State’s decision not to expand Medicaid. These communities don’t have the medical resources of communities who have a pay source to pay for their healthcare,” said Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins.
