Dallas County is reporting a record number of COVID-19 hospitalizations Tuesday while adding another 2,794 new confirmed and probable cases of the virus and 20 more deaths.
Officials in the county said there were 1,113 COVID-19 patients in acute care in Dallas County through Monday and that there were another 534 people with COVID-19 symptoms who visited county emergency rooms on the same day.

Today we have 1,113 COVID hospitalizations and almost 2,800 cases, said Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins. Sadly, we have met or surpassed those predictions. W
