The city of Sachse has reported 1,755 COVID-19 cases through today. A total of 52 new cases were reported since last Friday. These include, from Dallas County, a 10, 2, 13, 27, 28, 35, 28, 29, 46, 48, 50, 53, 54, 55, 57, 58, 61, 62 and 62-year-old female and a 7, 14, 14, 15, 25, 36, 37, 37, 41, 43, 49, 52, 52, 53, 60, 60, 66, 74 and 84-year-old male. Cases from the city’s Collin County residents include a 10, 15, 15, 18, 28, 35, 36, 36, 37, 39, 49 and 69-year-old female and a 5 and 49-year-old male.

Four cases of the SARS-CoV-2 variant B.1.1.7 have been identified in residents of Dallas County who did not have recent travel outside of the US. The provisional seven-day average of daily new confirmed and probable cases (by date of test collection) for CDC week 2 was 1,814, which is a rate of 68.8 daily new cases per 100,000 residents. The percentage of respiratory specimens testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 remains high, with 25.5% of symptomatic patients presenting to area hospitals testing positive in week 2 (week ending 1/16/21).

Over the past 30 days, there have been 8,810 COVID-19 cases in school-aged children and staff reported from 716 separate K-12 schools in Dallas County. One COVID-19 outbreak in a school in December originated with spread among 11 staff members, with transmission to 10 students, and subsequent additional SARS-CoV-2 infections documented among at least 13 household members of these students and staff. One death and one hospitalization occurred from this outbreak.

There are currently 111 active long-term care facility outbreaks. Acumulative total of 3,669 residents and 2,091 healthcare workers in long-term facilities in Dallas have been diagnosed with COVID-19. Of these, 745 have been hospitalized and 402 have died. About 22% of all deaths reported to date have been associated with long-term care facilities. Twenty-seven outbreaks of COVID-19 in congregate-living facilities (e.g. homeless shelters, group homes, and halfway homes) have been reported in the past 30 days. A cumulative total of 350 residents and 168 staff members in these types of facilities in Dallas have been diagnosed with COVID-19.

Of all confirmed cases requiring hospitalization to date, more than two-thirds have been under 65 years of age. Diabetes has been an underlying high-risk health condition reported in about a third of all hospitalized patients with COVID-19. New cases are being reported as a daily aggregate, with more detailed summary reports updated Tuesday and Friday evenings are available at: https://www.dallascounty.org/departments/dchhs/2019-novel-coronavirus/daily-updates.php

Local health experts are using hospitalizations, ICU admissions, and ER visits as three of the key indicators as part of= determining the COVID-19 Risk Level (color-coded risk) and corresponding guidelines for activities during our COVID-19 response. There were 1,212 COVID-19 patients in acute care in Dallas County for the period ending on Friday, January 22. The number of emergency room visits for COVID 19 like symptoms in Dallas County was 542 for the same time-period, which represents around 22 percent of all emergency department visits in the county according to information reported to the North Central Texas Trauma Regional Advisory Council. UTSW modeling predicts hospitalization could reach 1,470 by February 2, with cases as high as 2,700/day by the same date. Their model also indicates an increase in ICU utilization, which would overwhelm capacity according to health officials.

“Today we report 1,698 new COVID cases and 22 deaths. While we just reported our deadliest week to date last week, and we’re still seeing near record levels for COVID hospitalizations, we are starting to see some metrics go in the right direction. For CDC week 2, ending January 16, we saw our average daily number of new COVID cases and our positivity rate both decrease from the week before. The average number of new daily cases went from 2,628 to 1,814 and the positivity rate decreased from 31.5% to 25.5%. These are encouraging trends and I hope these numbers continue to go down.

We received another 9,000 doses of vaccine this week and vaccinated thousands more at Fair Park today. For those who received their first dose at Fair Park, you received a vaccination card. On the back of that card is the date you need to return for your second dose and you can come at the same time. There is no need to schedule the second dose or make an appointment,” said Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins.
