NEW: Dallas County Reports 1,637 New Positive 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Cases and 37 Deaths,
Including 258 Probable Cases
Today we report 1,637 new COVID cases and 37 deaths, our second highest one-day total of deaths reported.
Now is a time that we all must make small sacrifices to keep our community and our country strong at this time of unprecedented high spread and while we await the herd immunity that will come from the vast majority of the population being inoculated.
Getting ‘back to normal’ is going to take all of our tools. Your best protection from COVID-19 will be a combination of getting a COVID-19 vaccine, wearing a mask, staying at least six feet away from others, avoiding crowds, and washing your hands often.
No one tool alone is going to stop the pandemic. 😷🇺🇸

NEW: Dallas County Reports 1,671 New Positive 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Cases and 40 Deaths,
Including 274 Probable Cases
Today we report another 1,671 COVID cases and 40 additional deaths, making this the deadliest day thus far in the battle against COVID. These deaths are a result of the high number of COVID cases that have been reported over the last several weeks.
Increased deaths always follows increased infections. The decisions we make today will impact the number of COVID cases reported 10-14 days from now and the number of deaths reported at this time next month.
NEW: Dallas County Reports 1,858 New Positive 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Cases and 22 Deaths,
Including 361 Probable Cases
Today we report 1,858 new COVID cases and 22 deaths, ranging in ages from a man in his 40’s to individuals in their 90’s.
Medical experts continue to predict that January and February will be challenging months for COVID but I continue to hope we’ll turn the corner soon as vaccine production ramps up and is more accessible to our community.
NEW: Dallas County Reports 1,974 New Positive 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Cases and 15 Deaths
Including 328 Probable Cases
Today, Dallas County sets another new record for COVID positive cases with 1,974 cases and an additional 15 deaths. For the week thus far, we’ve reported 40 deaths, which medical modelers predicted as the cases began to rise several weeks earlier.
When those same medical modelers predicted over 2,000 daily cases by Thanksgiving, many people jeered at their predictions saying they were alarmist and false. It is important to remember that the local medical modelers have been right thus far throughout the pandemic.
NEW: Dallas County Reports 1,860 New Positive 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Cases and 2 Deaths
Including 56 Probable Cases
Today marks the second time this week that we’ve reported a record number of new #COVID19 cases with 1,860 being reported today, more than the 1,831 we reported just a few days ago. We are reporting two additional deaths as well, a woman in her 40’s and a woman in her 80’s.
As we enter the holiday season, now is not the time to attend gatherings with friends and family who are not members of your household. Instead, now is the time to make sacrifices for the greater good of our community.
NEW: Dallas County Reports 947 New Positive 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Cases and 17 Deaths
Including 161 Probable Cases
Today, for the second day in a row, Dallas County reports under 1,000 new COVID cases but I caution because these numbers appear to still be low due to lower than expected numbers from the state’s electronic laboratory reporting system.
Today we also have the grim task of reporting 17 deaths ranging in age from a post-partum mother in her 30’s to persons in their 80’s. For the CDC week ending November 7, our average daily case count is above 1,000, up almost 300 cases more from the week before.
