Some North Texas schools have yet to resume in-person learning due to ongoing repairs from damages caused by February’s winter storm.
Nearly a month ago, frigid temperatures became problematic across the state, leaving many Texans without power and causing widespread damage from pipes that burst.
Denton County Public Health confirmed Tuesday another two county residents had died of COVID-19.
They were a Lewisville woman in her 60s and a Highland Village man who was at least 80 years old.
DCPH does not release further identifying information about those who die of COVID-19.
Confirmation of the cause of their deaths brought the countywide death toll of COVID-19 to 167, according to local officials. The Texas Department of Stat Health Services, on the other hand, had reported 265 such deaths by Monday evening.
As of Tuesday, roughly 91% of all the staffed adult intensive care unit beds across the county were occupied. The majority of those beds were filled by people suffering from COVID-19.
