The current trend reverses a three month decline, according to the healthcare organization.

The July daily average is up to nearly the average seen in April, 31.5% higher than the June rate of 49 patients per day.

This appears to track with the published Tarrant County Public Health data on the current 7-day average positivity rate of 18.9%, up from the 2.6% rate in June 2021.

MedStar continues to offer mobile vaccines in the community.
