COVID Update. Dallas County reported 455 new cases and eight deaths yesterday (remember that’s a two-day total, because the county doesn’t report on Sundays). For the past two weeks, the average number of new daily cases in the county is 240; for the previous two-week period, the average was 263. Get vaccinated!
