BREAKING: Dallas County Health and Human Services is reporting the first case of monkeypox in North Texas and in the state of Texas this year.
"It's concerning that cases in the west and in the south are still rising. Hospitalizations nationally are still rising," explained Dr. Tom Inglesby, former senior advisor to the White House COVID-19 Response Team.
There is also growing concern about the steady surge in COVID cases. Texas is now averaging 6,200 new cases per day. DCHHS says the patient hasn’t been hospitalized, is isolated and recovering at home and does not pose a known risk to others at this time. No other information was released about the patient, citing privacy laws.
