by | May 6, 2020 | Latest

Collin County health officials reported 11 new cases of COVID-19 in the county this afternoon, May 6, bringing the adjusted reported total to 839 confirmed cases.

There are 260 active cases and 557 that have successfully recovered.

There are 25 cases hospitalized and 22 have died from COVID-19 related illness.

The county reported 8,656 negative tests and 1,334 People Under Monitoring.

The reported cases by city are:

Dallas – 20 year old (gender not included)

McKinney – 68 year old male

Murphy – 39 and 63 year old males

Plano – 17, 33, 53, 76, 92 and 93 year old female and 43 and 92 year old male

Wylie – 60 year old female

List cases by city exceed the reported cases in beginning of this report. These cases by gender are from Collin County health reports with no explanation for the difference between reported and listed cases.

Note: Collin County’s health department receives daily COVID-19 test results – positive and negative – from physicians’ offices, private labs, hospitals and the National Electronic Disease Surveillance System (NEDSS) through Texas’ Department of State Health Services (DSHS). We share this information with the public the same day it is received.

DSHS recently informed county health departments that NEDSS will no longer share negative test results, so that county health departments can focus on managing positive cases. As a result, the quantity of negative test results will decrease substantially.

Individual cases may be removed if the place of residence is outside of Collin County.
