Dallas County Public Health Director Suzanne Hegarty told the Board of Supervisors there are 58 confirmed Cyclospora cases in the county—more than any other county in the state—and provided an outbreak update during the board’s July 28 meeting.
Suzanne Hegarty, Dallas County Director of Public Health, told the supervisors during the open forum that the county is tracking a Cyclospora outbreak and has confirmed 58 cases, the highest total in the state.
Hegarty said county health staff are investigating cases and coordinating with state health partners to identify common exposures and provide guidance to clinicians and residents. "There are currently 58 cases in Dallas County, the most in the state," she said.
