Denton County reported a decrease in COVID-19 cases in the past week, county Public Health Director Dr. Matt Richardson said.
“We think we have turned the corner a little bit,” Richardson said during a Feb. 1 county commissioners meeting.
In the first week of the new year, about 8,000 cases were reported and the next week about 12,000 cases were reported, Richardson said. During the week of Jan. 10-15, about 13,500 cases were reported. That number has since decreased to under 10,000 cases during the week of Jan. 16-22.
“We’ve had a sharp decline and that is something to be celebrated,” he said.
