Krouse: Increase in COVID-19 cases was predictable
EDINBURG, Texas – Dr. John H. Krouse, dean of the UT-Rio Grande Valley Schools of Medicine, says it was entirely predictable that the number of COVID-19 cases would increase once the economy was re-opened.
Hidalgo and Cameron counties are currently seeing a surge of positive tests for the coronavirus.
Hidalgo County Judge Richard F. Cortez reported that over two days this past weekend 83 new COVID-19 tests came back positive in his county. This has pushed the total number of known cases in the county beyond the 1,000-mark.
Cameron County Judge Eddie Treviño, Jr., said his public health department has received confirmation of an additional 57 case reports of COVID-19. This raises the total number of COVID-19 cases to 1,138 in the county. There have also been an additional 16 individuals who have recovered, raising the total number of recovered individuals to 760.
