DALLAS COUNTY (WBAP/KLIF NEWS)- Dallas County Health and Human Services is reporting its lowest COVID-19 numbers since July 22nd.
The county reported just 426 new cases of COVID-19 and two additional deaths on Monday. But Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins says there is concern that some of the testing may not be getting through due to a potential glitch in the state’s electronic laboratory reporting system.
“I’m increasingly optimistic that your use of masks and sacrificial delay of unnecessary trips outside the home for things other than necessities are having an impact on flattening the recent explosion in cases since the Governor’s Open Texas plan was implemented,” said Jenkins,” Please keep wearing your mask and don’t let up on making smart decisions. Public health and our economy can’t afford it.
Total number of cases in Dallas County has risen to 47,239 cases and 607 deaths.
