Jul. 17 People are gathering with friends, holding hands, smiling without a mask and going out to restaurants, malls and parks. While this looks different from the way the world looked a year ago, the numbers showing the percent of people testing positive for COVID-19 look the same.
Tarrant County elevated the coronavirus spread level to high on Friday, up from moderate in June, as the delta variant takes hold among unvaccinated people. Those that are not vaccinated are going to have these outbreaks, Tarrant County Health Director Vinny Taneja said.

And that s what we re starting to see here in Tarrant County as well.
