Dallas County reporting new cases
Dallas County has now reported 28 presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 in Dallas County (four of those cases are out of county residents and will not be reflected in the case counts posted on the DCHHS website). Of the most recent cases, some of the most ill are as young as in their 20s. This is not just dangerous for older residents. Avoid congregating if at all possible; wash your hands often. Town leaders are participating in daily calls with County and state officials as part of our emergency response.
As a reminder, the current County Judge order prohibits gatherings of more than 50 people. The recommendation is to limit groups to less than 10. Restaurants may only provide take-out, delivery or drive-through services.
