Denton
County officials announced 40 more coronavirus cases on Tuesday, increasing the
countywide total to 1,812.
Tuesday’s
new cases are from Denton (14), Lewisville (6), Aubrey (2), Corinth (2), The
Colony (2), Little Elm (1), Sanger (1), Providence Village (1), Lake Dallas
(1), and the Denton County portions of Fort Worth (1), Flower Mound (1), Celina
(2) and Carrollton (3), while three cases are reported from unincorporated
Denton County.
Of the
315 Denton residents infected with the coronavirus, about half — 160
individuals — have since recovered.

County Public Health spokesperson Jennifer Rainey said the department has
received over 95% of results from nursing homes tested for the coronavirus.
Rainey said there have not been any outbreaks reported at any of the 19 nursing
homes that were tested.
“It is
worth reiterating that COVID-19 testing is a point-in-time test to determine if
there is an active infection, so there are still risks and concerns in which
the safety and health of those residents should remain paramount,” Rainey said
in an email Tuesday.
Officials
announced that 13 people are newly recovered and that active cases have
increased by 27, bringing the respective totals to 961 and 815.
