"One of the first indicators we’ve been monitoring, emergency department visits in the prior 24 hours," said Dallas County Health Director Dr. Philip Huang. "And you can see that for suspected and confirmed COVID-19, that number is showing some declines now in the last week." Transmission rates and demand for testing have also dropped. But Tarrant County will likely pass a milestone soon.
Denton County continues to see jumps in pediatric cases, noting Lewisville ISD has shut down for the week due to COVID-related staffing shortages.
