Tarrant County reports 263 new coronavirus cases, no deaths Monday after record week
Tarrant County reported 263 new coronavirus cases on Monday, after closing out a record week for new cases.
There have been a total of 11,739 COVID-19 cases, including 225 deaths and at least 5,059 recoveries in the county.
New cases in the county have decreased each day since reaching a record high of 544 on June 23, according to a chart of the county’s coronavirus data by report date. The county reported a weekly record of 2,548 cases June 22-28, exceeding the record set the previous week by more than 900 cases.
Reporting of new cases from hospitals and clinics has tended to lag in the data compiled on Mondays since some labs don’t report data on the weekend. For example, a week ago there were also 263 cases reported, the fewest of the week. The 140 cases on June 15 were the fewest cases reported that week. And the 74 cases on June 8 were also the lowest cases reported for the week.
Fort Worth residents have accounted for 5,640 COVID-19 cases, including 127 deaths. Arlington residents have accounted for 2,338 cases and 31 deaths.
