KAUFMAN COUNTY, Texas — Kaufman County has confirmed 742 total confirmed cases of COVID-19 in an update on July 2, 2020, up from 673 reported on July 2.

555 of those total confirmed cases are presumed recovered, bringing the current presumed active cases to 187, down from 199 reported last Thursday.

The Texas Department of State Health Services ceased reporting local data to counties on June 19, 2020, and later reversed that decision and began reporting again on July 1.

Kaufman County is reporting four confirmed COVID-19-related deaths and an additional "probable" COVID-19-related death. County officials say these two data sets will remain separate in their reporting.

Over the same 7-day period with available testing data, the testing positivity rate for Kaufman County was 28.5%. There were 6.58 persons per 1,000 persons in the county who have tested positive for COVID-19, according to DSHS.
