DALLAS — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have raised Dallas County’s COVID-19 level to red as cases and hospitalizations continue to climb.
Under the red designation, which signifies high community spread, the CDC recommends that everyone wear masks indoors and on public transit. That differs from the yellow designation, which recommends indoor masking only for individuals with high risk of severe illness.
Tarrant and Collin counties are also listed as red, while Denton County is still listed at the yellow level.
