Despite 11 days of over 200 coronavirus cases, Dallas judge hopes ‘plateau’ in sight
Dallas County reported 243 new coronavirus cases and five more deaths on Wednesday.
The five latest pandemic deaths were three residents of Dallas and two residents of Mesquite in their 60s and 70s, including a female resident of a long-term care facility in Mesquite in her 60s.
Dallas County has confirmed 6,602 total COVID-19 cases, including 153 deaths. The county is not reporting daily case recoveries.
“Today’s numbers are in line with what we’ve been seeing over the last 10 days,” Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said in a news release. “Although we lost five of our residents today, halfway through the week we are seeing a lower number of deaths than we saw last week, which is a promising sign. Hopefully, this plateau will lead to a decrease.”
