This is a rapidly evolving situation and we recognize many are likely getting inquiries, as well as beginning their own preparedness activities. At this time Dallas County does not have any confirmed cases, and we want to reiterate the overall risk to the American public remains low. There are a number of informational resources available through our health department, the Department of State Health Services, and the Centers for Disease Control. Additionally, we want to make ourselves available to answer any other questions you may have about this ongoing situation. We encourage everyone to communicate basic personal hygiene practices like washing your hands, avoiding touching your face, covering coughs and sneezes, and staying home while sick. We remain in the middle of flu season, which poses an immediate risk to our residents. I appreciate all of our partners for being actively engaged and we will remain in contact as this situation evolves.
