DALLAS — Many counties in North Texas are currently setting record highs in terms of reported single-day totals of COVID-19 cases.
While Dallas and Tarrant counties have both had days with more than 1000 cases, eight other counties have been above 100. Some for the first time since tracking began in March.
All data comes from the Texas Department of State Health Services.
On days when there is a negative number of cases, health officials removed confirmed cases because the people were found to live in a different county than originally reported.
