DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Dallas County Health and Human Services confirmed 31 more COVID-19 deaths on Tuesday, the second most Dallas County has reported in a single day during the pandemic.

DCHHS also reported 641 new cases, bringing the total number of COVID-19 cases to 52,131.
"Today's death total is a somber reminder of the seriousness of COVID-I9 and the need for us to continue to wear masks, stay six feet apart, use good hand hygiene, and avoid any trips other than work, procuring essential items and outdoor exercise during this time of rapid spread," said Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins in a statement.

"Testing is available at many locations and most locations have little to no wait time. Testing result turnaround has improved so that most people are getting back their results within 48-72 hours. Testing does not count against the public charge rule nor is the fact that you got a test relayed to anyone outside of the small circle of health providers necessary for this public health response," said Judge Jenkins.
