Dallas County reported an additional 107 coronavirus cases and two deaths on Saturday.

There have now been 1,644 coronavirus cases across the county and 27 deaths as of Saturday, officials said.

The two individuals who died from COVID-19 included a Garland man in his 60s and a Grand Prairie man in his 70s, according to a news release from Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins. Both had underlying health conditions.

Of cases in the county requiring hospitalization, 69 percent have involved residents who are either over the age of 60 or have had at least one known high-risk chronic health condition, according to the release. About one-third of all hospitalized COVID-19 patients have had diabetes.

Jenkins looked ahead to Easter in the news release, noting it will be different this year “but need not be less special.”

“Just as Americans overcame the measles epidemic of 1918 and WWII, we will come through this and will emerge stronger together,” he said.

Neighboring Tarrant County has had 25 deaths due to the coronavirus, as officials confirmed four more deaths on Saturday.
