As of July 12, 2020, Dallas reported 1,174 additional positive cases of coronavirus and 2 additional deaths, bringing total deaths in Dallas County to 451.
The deaths were a man in his 60s and a man in his 80s. Both had underlying health conditions.
An overwhelming number of positive cases come from adults between the ages of 18-39. More than half the cases since June 1 have come from this age range, according to the county.
The increasing number of cases is attributed to social gatherings at homes, bars and other places where social distancing guidelines are not always met.
The race most impacted in Dallas is the Hispanic community. Over 1,000 cases and 100 deaths were reported as of July 2020.
The groups still at the highest risk are people over the age of 65, and people who have underlying health conditions. However, Dallas county reports that over two-thirds of Dallas’s hospitalizations come from people under the age of 65, and around half do not have high-risk conditions.
