"Today we report 1,632 new cases and 9 deaths. According to the most recent UT Southwestern projections, given the current rate of vaccination in Dallas County, we will most likely not vaccinate every willing and eligible person until next year. Along with masking, the vaccine is a critically important tool we have for curbing the spread and impact of COVID-19 in our community. The Dallas Regional Chamber of Commerce has been offering several great prizes for people who received a vaccine in June, July and August. There are a few days left to participate in the raffle. To find the vaccination site closest to you, visit Vaccines.gov. And to register in the chamber's raffle visit: https://takecareofbusinessdfw.org/,"said Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins.

Specific Guidance for the Public:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends taking everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including:

  • Avoid close contact outside your home: Put 6 feet of distance between yourself and people who don't live in your household.
  • Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others and continue to keep about 6 feet between yourself and others. The cloth face cover is not a substitute for social distancing.
  • Stay home when you are sick, except to seek medical care
  • Wash your hands often and with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and help young children to do the same. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
    Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces daily using a regular household cleaning spray or wipes.
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. If you do not have a tissue, use your sleeve, not your hands. Immediately wash your hands.
  • Monitor your health daily. Be alert for symptoms. Take your temperature and follow CDC guidance if symptoms develop.
