Wylie man dies of COVID-19

by | Jul 2, 2020 | Latest

A 48-year-old Wylie man with COVID-19 died at his home Tuesday afternoon, the 44th death in Collin County, according to a report received by Collin County Health Care Services (CCHCS).
Health officials said the man had no reported underlying health conditions. This was the fourth death from the virus in Wylie.
As of this Thursday morning, July 2, the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) reported 3,114 total confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Collin County, with 2,396 of those individuals reported to have recovered.
DSHS assumed all new case reporting and contact tracing for Collin County on June 1. Because the county receives death reports from local sources sooner than the state, county health authorities continue to report COVID-19 related deaths.
The county updates its COVID-19 dashboard each day at 3:30 p.m.
