Dallas County will ‘scrap and claw’ for coronavirus tests, as 84 new cases reported
Dallas County reported 84 new coronavirus cases on Monday.
The total confirmed COVID-19 cases stand at 2,512, including 60 deaths.
The county is not reporting recovered patient totals.
Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins cautioned in a news release that some private labs do not report results on Sunday and urged residents to continue social distancing.
“We continue to scrap and claw for more testing and you must continue to exercise good personal responsibility decisions, limit essential personal business trips and wear a cloth covering when you go to essential businesses,” Jenkins said. “Like cooking and golf, if you rush it you ruin it.”
