Tarrant County Public Health is reporting 333 new cases of COVID-19 Monday with no new deaths.

Of the 333 additional cases reported Monday, 301 are confirmed while the other 32 are probable cases. The county has not said whether any of the 301 confirmed cases are from the Department of State Health Services backlog.

The county began reporting both probable and confirmed cases in August at the request of the state health department. Probable cases, the county said, account for a variety of real-world situations and could highlight cases in the community that may otherwise go unreported. To date, the county has reported 43,994 confirmed cases of the virus and 3,237 probable cases for a total of 47,231 cases.

The county is also reporting another 145 estimated recoveries, bringing the total number of survivors to 41,306. There are currently an estimated 5,292 active cases in the county.

Of the county's cases, 72% of those who have died were over the age of 65. Those aged 25 to 44 make up the largest percentage of people with COVID-19 at 37%.

The health department reports 203 COVID-19 patients are currently occupying hospital beds in the county -- about 4% of capacity. A month ago, on Aug. 21 COVID-19 patients occupied about 9% of Tarrant County hospital beds.

With the recent changes to their reporting system, Tarrant County Public Health said changes have also been made to their online dashboard, most notably to the Case Counts tab and Cases by Location tab. The Case Counts tab now includes cases reported by week, including both probable and confirmed, while the Cases by Location tab includes a map showing the 30-day average infection rate by ZIP code.
