Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson noted the record spike in cases is 'more than likely' connected to recent reopenings across the state.
, Johnson said:"More than likely what you saw in the cases jumping in the past few days that we've reported is a change in policy with respect to the reopening of parts of our economy, a couple weeks ago.
"I think there's a couple of things going on at the same time. You certainly have an increase in testing in some places. We're slowly ramping up our testing here in Dallas thankfully, but you also have changes in policy and so I think there's a few things working together at the same time to account for that increase in cases," he added.
