Richardson’s updated coronavirus case numbers, openings and guidelines for city facilities

Richardson has had 2,610 cases of the coronavirus and 35 deaths, according to the most recent information available from Dallas and Collin counties.

Collin County has announced that it will no longer post COVID-19 case data on its website. Counts of new and confirmed cases, those who have recovered, and COVID-related deaths in Collin County may be obtained from the Department of State Health Services at this link.

Reporters at The Dallas Morning News are looking to talk with people who have had COVID-19 about how they’ve recovered — or if their symptoms still linger.

A state order requires people over age 10 to wear face coverings inside businesses and other buildings or spaces open to the public. It also requires masks outside in public spaces when it’s not feasible to stay six feet apart from others. Exceptions include when people are eating, drinking, exercising, voting or worshipping. Protests are not considered an exception.

The requirements apply only in counties with 20 or more positive COVID-19 cases.

Those who ignore the mandate can face fines of up to $250. The first offense will yield a warning.

Beginning on June 1, the Texas Department of State Health Services took over COVID-19 case investigation and contact tracing, replacing Collin County’s local health authority and potentially changing the way cases data is reported in the county.

Case reporting for Richardson relies on data from both Collin and Dallas counties. The change briefly paused case reporting for Collin County, but case details are again available on the state dashboard.

Coronavirus cases

Dallas County’s case counts for the city are updated Tuesday and Friday, and the state dashboard is updated daily.

Richardson ISD has also created a tracking portal for COVID-19 cases within the school system.
