There are almost 700 new COVID19 cases in a rolling seven day period said Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins.
Hospitalizations in the area are up also. According to the Texas Department of State Health Services – more than twice as many COVID19 hospitalizations are happening now as on July 18 and more than four times as many as on July 3.
Last year, Texas was one of ten “hot zone” states where COVID19 infections were surpassing expectations.
Per Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council President Stephen Love a majority of the people hospitalized with COVID-19 are not vaccinated. He encouraged everyone to get vaccinated.
