A Texas woman died of COVID-19 while on a commercial flight from Arizona.

This summer, a woman in her 30s died due to COVId-19 while flying home from Arizona, officials said on Monday. The woman died in July, but the officials just discovered her official cause of death, Clay Jenkins, Dallas County Judge, told NBC Dallas-Fort Worth.

Jenkins told the station that it became hard for the woman to breathe, and the officials tried to give her oxygen. But they are not successful, and the woman died on the jetway.

The woman was from the Dallas suburb of Garland, had underlying health conditions, as per a Dallas County news release. The specific details about the woman were not immediately available.

As case counts continue to rise in 25 states, the disclosure comes, according to the 14-day average maintained by the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center. The data showed a hit of new Texas cases for the last week after a dip the week before.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott continues relaxing COVID-19 restrictions, with an executive order allowing some bars to reopen at half capacity, earlier this month, Yahoo News reported.

On Monday, Jenkins criticized the executive order, saying that it could make people believe that it is now safe to have friends. He told NBC Dallas-Fort Worth, "We keep jumping the gun, and it puts us back in a situation which hurts public health and businesses and schools."

A possible "third peak" of coronavirus cases as the holidays approach, experts have warned. Dr. Carlos del Rio, an infectious diseases expert at Emory University School of Medicine, described the coming holidays as six possible superspreader events.

Meanwhile, on Sunday, two additional coronavirus-related deaths were announced, including a Dallas man and a Glenn Heights woman in their 50s who had been critically ill at a hospital. The three reported fatalities on Sunday had underlying health conditions, as per NBCDFW.

A total of 1,085 confirmed COVID-19-related deaths were reported in Dallas County. On Saturday, 592 new cases were added, and 554 confirmed cases. Out of the numbers, 390 came from the Texas Department of State Health Services' electronic reporting system.

Jenkins expressed his frustration when Governor Abbott loosened statewide restrictions when the decline of new cases just started. He said that what happens with loosen limits is people may not be going to a bar, but they would think it's safe to go with friends to watch the Cowboys game or do something they want to do.

The Texas Department of State Health Services reported an estimated 80,491 recoveries on its site and lists for Dallas County as of Saturday. There are an estimated 7,748 active COVID-19 cases across the US, using data supplied by the state.

The Dallas Health and Human Services said that more than two-thirds of all confirmed COVID-19 cases requiring hospitalization are under 65 years old. About one-third of all hospitalized patients' underlying health condition is diabetes, while 24% of the coronavirus-related deaths were associated with long-term care facilities.
