Breaking news wrecked the Internet on Saturday, July 18. In Texas County, United States, nearly 100 babies ages under one were admitted to hospitals after having confirmed Coronavirus. The county hopes for everyone to pray for the welfare and health of the babies, which haven't yet had their first birthdays.
Dozens of babies tested positive with COVID-19
Peter Zanoni, the Corpus Christi city manager, warned that Nueces County has the fastest growth of COVID- 19 cases in Texas.
The county now has about 8,100 positive Coronavirus cases and 82 deaths from this population.
The national government already released a statement regarding the incident and advised everyone to strictly follow the protocol that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) implemented. For example, wearing a face mask, applying alcohol, and make sure to follow social distancing.
"Texas is now not where it should be relating to fighting COVID-19. Therefore, your office should take immediate action to rewind the efforts to reopen the state quickly, which came about by ignoring CDC guidelines," the letter said to Texas Gov. Greg Abbot. "We need to provide local authority to local counties and cities to do what is in the best interest of their communities."
