Dallas County reports single-day high of new coronavirus cases, plus another death
Dallas County reported 234 new coronavirus cases on Sunday — the highest single-day number it has had since the pandemic began. One woman also died from the virus.
The county now has 4,133 cases and 111 deaths, the health department said Sunday. The woman who died was in her 70s, was a resident of Dallas and had been critically ill in a local hospital.
“Today’s numbers are the highest we have seen so far. I’m hopeful that the medical models will prove correct and we are nearing the peak,” Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said in the health department press release.
“Much of that will be determined by the choices each one of us makes. Please avoid crowds, maintain six foot distancing and wear a cloth face covering at businesses.”
