Dallas County passes 74,000 COVID cases but reports second-fewest new cases since April
Dallas County reported 139 coronavirus cases and three deaths on Tuesday.
Tuesday’s cases include 63 from September that were previously unreported from the Texas’ Department of State Health Services data reporting system.
The 139 COVID-19 cases are the second-fewest reported since April. The fewest since April was 127 on Aug. 30.
Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said in a release that the lower number may be the result of less data being reported over the Labor Day holiday.
The latest deaths include two Dallas women in their 50s and a Dallas man in his 60s. Each had underlying health conditions, according to officials.
Dallas County has confirmed 74,100 COVID-19 cases, including 948 deaths. The county does not report recoveries.
