Eighty-five infants under age 1 have tested positive for coronavirus in one Texas county. And local officials are imploring residents to help stop its spread as the state becomes one of the newest hotspots.
«We currently have 85 babies under the age of one year in Nueces County that have all tested positive for Covid-19,» said Annette Rodriguez, director of public health for Corpus Christi Nueces County, per CNN.
«These babies have not even had their first birthday yet. Please help us stop the spread of this disease.» In Nueces County, Texas, where Corpus Christi is located, the number of new coronavirus cases began skyrocketing in July after the curve flattened out. Now, the virus has infected dozens of babies.
«Nueces County has the fastest growth in new cases on the seven-day average than any other metropolitan county in the state,» said Peter Zanoni, the Corpus Christi city manager.
