Palo Pinto and Parker counties currently have the highest positivity rates in North Texas, according to data from the Texas Department of State Health Services.
Positivity rate is the percentage of total COVID-19 tests conducted that are positive.
In September, Gov. Greg Abbott said a rate above 10% is a "warning flag."
When county positivity rate rises, that means additional cases aren't solely due to an increase in testing.
The Texas positivity rate, based on specimen collection date, is currently 20%.
Dallas and Tarrant counties have positivity rates above 10%.
