As the novel
coronavirus situation continues get increased attention, Dallas County
Health and Human Services is providing this update to our partners
about novel coronavirus. This is a rapidly evolving situation and we
recognize many are likely getting inquiries, as well as beginning their
own preparedness activities. At this time Dallas County does not have
any confirmed cases, and we want to reiterate the overall risk to the
American public remains low.
There are a number
of informational resources available through our health department, the
Department of State Health Services, and the Centers for Disease
Control. Additionally, we want to make ourselves available to answer
any other questions you may have about this ongoing situation.
We encourage everyone
to communicate basic personal hygiene practices like washing your
hands, avoiding touching your face, covering coughs and sneezes, and
staying home while sick. We remain in the middle of flu season, which
poses an immediate risk to our residents.
I appreciate all of
our partners for being actively engaged and we will remain in contact
as this situation evolves.
