Projections from UT Southwestern on future COVID-19 hospitalizations in Dallas County - June 29

Portions of June 29 commentary

"While the number of people hospitalized in the region remains low, hospitalizations are expected to increase over the next several weeks. The local Rt value, which represents how effectively the virus is spreading, is above 1 in the region. Test positivity rates are high and increasing, indicating that many positive cases are being missed in official records, even as test volumes are increasing. Based on these trends, our medium-term forecast predicts that hospitalizations should continue to rise over the near-term but should remain at manageable levels over the next several weeks because of the low starting point. Hospitalizations could return to elevated levels by mid-summer if trends persist. Masking behavior is at the lowest levels observed since the start of the pandemic."

"Based on current CDC "COVID-19 Community Levels" guidance, which considers hospital admissions and capacity, Dallas, Tarrant and Collin Counties are currently at low risk."
