DALLAS — COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are rising not only across Texas but specifically in North Texas as well.

The majority of the state's new cases are from the Delta variant, according to Chris Van Deusen, spokesman for the Texas Department of State Health Services.

Texas has had 18,733 new reported cases in the past 4 days, according to data from the Texas Department of State Health Services.

There are currently 1,035 people hospitalized with COVID-19 in North Texas hospitals, according to W.

He met with other Dallas County health officials Friday afternoon to talk about the possibility of moving the county's COVID-19 risk level from yellow to orange.

More than 75% of Texans 65 and older are fully vaccinated, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.

This is a big reason why Texas long-term care facilities and nursing homes haven't seen a similar spike in cases, according to the former president of the Dallas County Medical Society Mark Casanova.
