TEXAS – Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins announced through his account Twitter that the risk level for COVID-19 returned to the yellow level.
The recommendation was issued by the Public Health Committee due to a review that showed that “North Texas and Dallas County are witnessing an increase in COVID-19 cases, positive rates, hospitalizations and admissions in the Nursing Unit. Intensive”.
The judge added that this is why the committee considered raising the risk level to yellow while also reminding the community about the importance of getting vaccinated, getting the necessary boosters of the vaccine, and also wearing face masks.
The person went to a hospital because he had a welt and through laboratory tests they confirmed that he had the virus.
But what does it mean to be in yellow color and what measures should be taken while in that level?
According to the Dallas County Public Health Guidance document, being in yellow means the following:
“Low community risk for transmission of COVID-19. For example, dine-in services with adequate physical distancing (>6 feet) and moderate occupancy may be considered. Please continue to look for safe establishments staff and customers wearing face coverings and other good practices.”
This document was prepared by the Public Health Committee, which is made up of leaders in public health, epidemiology and infectious diseases. Below, we share more details and on page #5 you can also find more details about each color or level:
