‘The more testing the better.’ New Texas coronavirus data show numbers by county

For the first time since the coronavirus outbreak began, Texas is reporting the total number of people tested by county, giving the public its first glimpse of how testing rates vary within the state.

In Dallas County, which has 2.6 million residents, at least 9,500 people have been tested for COVID-19, the data show.

In a state where testing has lagged, the new data can help pinpoint areas where testing rates are particularly low and show who among the most vulnerable residents has access to tests.
