COVID-19 Cases

*Staring March 8th 2024 DSHS has removed COVID-19 as a reportable condition, thus COVID-19 reporting of positive and negative cases are no longer required by practitioners and facilities to be reported to Public Health Agencies in Texas. DCHHS is encouraging local providers to voluntarily continue to report electronically if they have the capability. This change will impact the number of COVID-19 reports DCHHS receives and result in additional underreporting.

Residents are asked to help prevent spread of the virus by practicing non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) such as social distancing (avoiding close contact with other people, especially those who are sick), covering coughs and sneezes, and hand hygiene. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces, and avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands. If you are sick, stay home.

Register to Get Your Personal Risk Score!

This is exclusive for Dallas County. MyPCI is free to register and use. It is a secure, cloud-based tool that doesn’t require personal health information and doesn’t track an individual’s mobile phone data. Instead, it is a sophisticated machine learning algorithm, geomapping and hot-spotting technology that uses daily updated data from the Department of Public Health on confirmed positive COVID-19 cases and the population density in a given neighborhood. Based on density and distances to those nearby who are infected, the MyPCI App generates a dynamic personal risk score.

We all know that proximity matters and it’s even more important now than ever while we work hard to get people vaccinated. We’re very excited to put this information in the hands of Dallas county citizens so they have contextual awareness of what’s happening around them and serve as a reminder of the things they can control: social distancing, face covering and hand hygiene.
