Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and all who have experienced loss during this pandemic. We will continue to remain vigilant to stop the spread of COVID-19.

Ellis County is currently under a “Stay Home, Stay Safe” that will expire on 11:59 p.m. on April 30, 2020.

Note: When Dallas County released their numbers today, they said they may be “artificially low” due to testing sites closed for Easter. It’s unclear if that will also impact numbers for Ellis County.
