DALLAS (CNS) Despite the grip the historic winter storm had on north Texas, faith fueled outreach to Catholics and other community members in the Diocese of Dallas.

Dallas County residents can now get an instant reading of their vulnerability to COVID-19 using an app developed by the Parkland Center for Clinical Innovation. The new technology provides a live, location-specific risk assessment with a score to reflect how vulnerable a person is to the virus.
Throughout the pandemic, PCCI has provided Dallas County with data about the local population’s vulnerability to COVID-19, meshing mobility and health metrics with current COVID-19 outbreaks to map the county’s most vulnerable populations. The free MyPCI app makes that data available to everyone and doesn’t require personal health information. It’s also secure: it does not track mobile phone data.
