DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Dallas County Health and Human Services reported 1,303 additional positive cases of COVID-19 in Dallas County on Tuesday, Feb. 9.

A total of 2,482 Dallas County residents have lost their lives due to COVID-19 illness after 30 more deaths were confirmed Tuesday.
"Today we report another 1,303 new COVID cases and an additional 30 deaths. Unfortunately, one of those deaths was of a young pregnant woman in her 20's and another was of a woman in her 30's who had recovered from COVID over six months ago, only to be recently reinfected with the virus," said Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins. "We know this will continue to be a tough month in Dallas County as we mourn our fellow residents who have lost their lives to this virus. Our actions and sacrifices today can and will make a difference, not only in the cases we'll see a few weeks from now, but in the hospitalizations and deaths that usually follow about a month later. If we make smart decisions, wear our mask, wash our hands, keep six feet of distance and avoid crowds, hopefully all these numbers will continue to decrease."
