Starr Co. downgrading new cases as ‘probable’

About 15 minutes after announcing two new cases of COVID-19 on Saturday, Starr County reported the Department of State Health Services downgraded what would be their 34th and 35th cases to “probables.”

Those new probable cases are of a 35-year-old woman and a 9-year-old boy, according to Dr. Jose Vazquez, the county’s health authority.

Both are family members of an individual from Rio Grande City who previously tested positive for the disease.
