Oak Cliff’s COVID-19 case numbers and information about the coronavirus
Here’s what you need to know about how the coronavirus pandemic is affecting Oak Cliff.
Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, Dallas County has recorded over 330,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and nearly 5,000 deaths, according to the county’s website.
ZIP codes in Oak Cliff have accounted for a large number of cases, with 75211 having one of the largest numbers of active COVID-19 cases in Dallas County and one of the area’s highest per-capita rates.
In May, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that people fully vaccinated against COVID-19 didn’t need to wear face masks or social distance at outside gatherings of any size. However, the CDC changed course on its masking guidelines on July 28, recommending face coverings even for vaccinated people in parts of the country where coronavirus is surging — such as North Texas.
On Aug. 11, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins announced masks will once again be mandatory in Dallas County schools, businesses and county buildings as COVID-19 delta variant cases continue to climb.
Dallas County updates its case numbers every Tuesday and Friday.
