More cases in Dallas County
Dallas County reported nine more COVID-19 cases Tuesday morning, bringing its total to 28.
The new patients are two women in their 20s, a man in his 30s, a man and a woman in their 40s, two women in their 50s, a man in his 60s and a woman in her 70s.
Five of the patients were hospitalized, including three in critical-care units, health officials said. The other four were self-isolating.
The three in critical care are in their 20s, 30s and 60s, the county said Tuesday afternoon.
Eight of the patients are Dallas residents, and the ninth lives in Irving.
Three of them are close contacts of another person confirmed to have COVID-19, and one case is related to recent travel abroad. But it’s likely the five other patients were infected through community spread of the new coronavirus, health authorities said.
