Editor’s note: This is the latest information reported by Collin County Health Care Services and the state of Texas through their public dashboards and websites.

The adjustment will result in a count decrease in confirmed, active and recovered cases reported July 23. No cases will be deleted, only corrected on the county’s public download spreadsheet as a “transfer” or “duplicate.”
