"Today’s 36 deaths is a new single-day reporting record and is a somber reminder of the seriousness of this outbreak," said Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins. "We continue the spirit of sacrifice for the community good."
In the seven days, Dallas County has added 5,293 new cases of the virus, for an average of 756 cases per day, a jump from the 715 7-day average reported Tuesday. Wednesday's 704 new cases are lower than the 14-day average of 840 new cases per day.
The 14-day average has dropped for four consecutive days from 956 to 930 on July 26, to 880 on July 27, to 865 on July 28 and to 840 on Wednesday.
The county has now accumulated 48,732 cases of the virus since testing began in March. There have been 658 deaths attributed in the county to the virus, which, according to Dallas County Health and Human Services Director Dr. Philip Huang, is now the third leading cause of death in the county behind diseases of the heart and cancers. Since March 20, the date of the first reported COVID-19 related death in Dallas County, the county has averaged five deaths per day.
According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, an estimated 30,241 people in the county have recovered from the virus (through Tuesday) leaving an estimated 17,869 known patients fighting the infection. The active case number will be updated Wednesday afternoon.
Also Wednesday, Jenkins said in a statement that more than 1,800 children under the age of 18 have been diagnosed with the virus in the first three weeks of July. During that same timeframe, 38 children have been hospitalized including four in the ICU.
Of cases requiring hospitalization, two-thirds of all COVID-19 patients have been under 65 years of age, and about half do not have high-risk chronic health conditions. Diabetes has been an underlying high-risk health condition reported in about a third of all hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
The county has been reporting for several weeks now that more than a third of the deaths related to COVID-19 have been among residents of long-term care facilities.
