As Dallas County reported 1,243 new coronavirus cases and 15 additional deaths Monday, County Judge Clay Jenkins pleaded with residents to avoid large New Year’s parties that could further spread the virus in the coming weeks.
Statewide, a record-high 11,351 patients were hospitalized with the virus Monday.
“While this is traditionally a joyous time when we gather with our friends and families to celebrate and usher in the New Year, we are in a very dangerous situation with COVID-19 in our county and region,” Jenkins said in a written statement, noting that hospitals in the area already are stretched thin.
