Denton County Public Health confirmed Tuesday another two county residents had died of COVID-19.
They were a Lewisville woman in her 60s and a Highland Village man who was at least 80 years old.
DCPH does not release further identifying information about those who die of COVID-19.
Confirmation of the cause of their deaths brought the countywide death toll of COVID-19 to 167, according to local officials. The Texas Department of Stat Health Services, on the other hand, had reported 265 such deaths by Monday evening.
As of Tuesday, roughly 91% of all the staffed adult intensive care unit beds across the county were occupied. The majority of those beds were filled by people suffering from COVID-19.
