Dallas County monitoring at least 100 people for possible coronavirus, health department says

More than 100 people, including those who have recently returned from mainland China, have been quarantined and are being monitored by the Dallas County health department, the agency’s chief said Monday.

None has tested positive, Dr. Phil Huang said Monday evening in an interview with The Dallas Morning News. Those under watch are reporting their temperatures and any other symptoms to the health agency twice a day, he said.

Huang declined to provide a more specific number – including whether any have been cleared – and said the department has no plans to provide more granular data. However, he reiterated, the department will notify the public if a positive test comes back.
