State health officials listed 123 new cases of COVID-19 today, July 8, in Collin County. Officials reported an adjusted total of 3,948 confirmed cases.

There are 794 active cases and 3,101 that have successfully recovered.

As of 12:00 AM June 1, 2020, the Department of State Health Services will perform all COVID-19 case investigation and contact tracing activities for Collin County’s local health authority. Collin County will be able to access the state system to obtain data and reports for its jurisdiction, but details on the extent of the data and how reports will be distributed will be announced as soon as they are available.

Due to the large number of new cases each day, the state is not necessarily reporting individual cases by age, gender or city.

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