Tarrant County Public Health reported 256 new COVID-19 cases with no new deaths Monday. Meanwhile, both the averages of 7 and 14 days are on average on the road again.
Of the 256 cases reported Monday, data from the provincial health department indicates that 242 cases are confirmed, while 14 cases are likely.
The province began reporting both probable and confirmed cases earlier this month at the request of the state health department. Likely cases, the province said, account for a variety of real-world situations and could mark cases in the community that might otherwise go unreported. To date, the province has reported 36,239 confirmed cases of the virus and 1,777 probable cases for a total of 38,016 cases.
After climbing to 557 on Sunday, the province’s 7-day average dropped Monday to 550 cases; the 14-day average fell from 622 on Sunday to 619 on Monday. The averages for both were trending last week before a backlog of cases on Saturday was added.
The province also reports more than 1,200 new estimated recoveries, bringing the total number of survivors to 29,362. There are currently an estimated 8,195 active cases in the province – nearly 1,400 fewer than on Friday.
Of the cases of the province, 69% of the people who died were over the age of 65. Those aged 25 to 44 form the largest percentage of people with COVID-19 at 38%.
The number of hospital beds reported to be occupied by COVID-19 patients Monday was 381, down from 708 a month ago.
With the recent changes to its reporting system, Tarrant County Public Health said changes have also been made to its online dashboard, particularly on the Case Countts and Cases by Location tab page. The Case Countts tab now includes cases reported by week, including probable and confirmed, while the Cases by Location tab includes a map showing the average of 30 days of infection per zip code.
