The Contractor has begun placing concrete on Miller Road east of Weems Way, and
will be replacing the roadway in sections, It is projected all concrete will be in place by
the end of August; weather permitting. Excavation of the bore pit is complete, and the
bore operation is expected to start this Friday or Monday. The horizontal directional
drilling beneath the lake is progressing slowly due to the amount of water. The
contractor is anticipating they will complete the drilling and be ready to pull the casing
during next week.
MILLER ROAD 24-INCH FM AND 24-INCH GRAVITY SEWER PROJECT

Tri-Con is continuing with installation of the 24” force main and approximately 1,200 feet

COVID-19 UPDATE
CASE COUNTS – The chart on the left illustrates

confirmed COVID-19 case counts numbers as of 7pm
Thursday, July 23rd. Since Tuesday, Rowlett has added
15 cases across 15 households (10 new households).
Changes to the regional hospital reporting system are
underway, so regional hospital snapshot data is not
available – we anticipate the ability to once again
share this information tomorrow or Monday.
Please continue to stay home and stay safe. Stay

vigilant when you must go out - wear your face
covering, maintain the six feet of social distancing from
others not in your group and, most importantly, wash
your hands often. These measures are critical not only
to slow the spread and protect people's lives, but also
to protect our economy from further closures and to
prevent compromising the other health care services
we need across the state.
Rowlett will continue to alert the public about any new

cases, but will restrict information to age range and
gender as it is available to us. Please visit
www.Rowlett.com/COVID-19 for more information, how
to get tested, closures and the measures instituted to
help protect our community.

Is there anything new from the Governor’s Office this week?

Yes, Dr. Francisco Cigarroa Released a Spanish Language COVID-19 Public Service Announcement
July 20, 2020 | Austin, Texas | Press Release
The Office Of The Governor and Francisco Cigarroa, MD, of UT Health San
Antonio today released a new Spanish-language public service
announcement (PSA) urging Texans to work together to slow the spread of
COVID-19. In the PSA, Dr. Cigarroa encourages Texans to follow simple steps
to protect themselves and others: wearing a mask, regular hand washing,
staying home when possible, and socially distancing from others.
The new PSA is available on YouTube and can be downloaded at this link.
(From Texas Municipal League Coronavirus Update #88)
Garland ISD – To help families, staff and community stay

informed, GISD released a Reopening School
Instructional Guidebook. See expanded details about
learning models, training, procedures, safety
requirements and more at
www.garlandisd.net/GISDreopens
www.garlandisd.net/COVIDupdates

Governor Greg Abbott has issued Executive
Order 29 requiring all Texans to wear a face
covering over the nose and mouth in public
spaces, with few exceptions, in counties with 20
or more positive COVID-19 cases effective at
12:01pm on July 3, 2020.
The Governor also issued a proclamation giving

mayors and county judges the ability to impose
restrictions on some outdoor gatherings of over
10.
Face Coverings
Required in all Dallas
County Businesses –
Dallas County Judge
Clay Jenkins issued a
Supplemental Order
effective June 19,
2020. All commercial entities in Dallas County
providing goods or services directly to the
public must develop and implement a health and safety policy. The Health and Safety Policy must require, at
a minimum, that all employees or visitors to the commercial entity’s business premises or other facilities wear
face coverings.
The Rowlett City Council was unanimous in their decision at a Special City Council Meeting held on
Wednesday, June 24th NOT to extend this Dallas County order citywide to include the Rockwall County
portion of Rowlett, believing the Dallas County order mandating businesses require all employees or visitors
(i.e. customers) wear face coverings places the undue
enforcement burden upon businesses. However, now is not the time to relax your prevention efforts! Covid-19
is still spreading. As the number of COVID-19 cases, along with the corresponding hospitalization rates,
continues to rise in North Texas – the ages of those contracting the virus continues to drop.
➡️ Almost half of the Dallas County cases since June 1st are young adults
between 18 and 39 years of age.
➡️ In Rowlett, the average age for positive cases was 29 years of age in the
last week, compared to the average age the week before of 52 years of
age.
➡️ The state's positivity rate has doubled from 4.5% in May to 9% in the last
week.
➡️ Hospitalizations are up over 50% in our area since June 1, and in the
month of June, half of the hospitalizations and a third of the patients in
intensive care units have been under age 50.
It’s summer, we want to gather with friends, go to pool parties and BBQs,
attend concerts and sit on patios. We all want to “get back to normal”, but
this is the new normal we must co-exist with right now. Please stay home when possible, and stay vigilant
when you must go out – wear a face covering, maintain that six feet of social distancing from others not in

your group and, most importantly, wash your hands often. These measures are critical not only to slow the
spread and protect people's lives, but also to protect our economy from further closures and to prevent
compromising the other health care services we need
across the state. #MyRowlett #BetterTogether #Rowlett4All

Ellis David Field House – Labcorp
Individuals that have not received their results after 7 days may request assistance via email with the following
info: Name, Location of Test, Date/Time of Test, Phone Number.
❖ Counterfeit COVID-19 and antibody testing kits are now becoming increasingly available online and
throughout the DFW area. Please be aware that legitimate tests are not available over the counter at any
retail locations. All COVID-19 tests are operating under FDA Emergency Use Authorizations (EUA), so be
wary of claims that a test is FDA-approved or -cleared. Additionally, a provider with an EUA for
the PCR test (the test to confirm COVID-19) may not have an EUA for a serology test (for antibodies).
At-home Testing
Pixel by LabCorp is now offering at-home nasal swab test kits. This is the ONLY at-home COVID-19 test with an
EUA from the FDA.
o To order, go here and complete a short eligibility survey. If eligible, order and receive the kit via FedEx,
collect and ship the sample, online results will be available approximately two days after LabCorp
receives your test. Patient Fact Sheet available.
It’s important to understand that a negative result on a standard COVID-19 test is not a waiver for
symptomatic persons to cease self-quarantine and/or social distancing measures. Additionally, it does not
mean that a person who receives a negative result on one test won’t receive a positive result from the exact
same type of test performed five minutes later. Similarly, a positive result on an IgM and/or IgG antibody test
does not mean that a person is completely immune or, in the case of a positive IgG result, recovered.
