Starr Co. reports COVID-19 case tied to mobile testing site

Starr County reported eight new COVID-19 cases this weekend bringing the total there to 35.

The new cases include a woman in her 30’s “out of a military facility,” Dr. Jose Vazquez, the county’s health authority said Sunday.

The military facility is a mobile testing site run by the Texas Division of Emergency Management and the Texas Military Department.

No other information was immediately available Sunday evening.

The other case is that of a Rio Grande City woman in her mid-50s.

Neither case is related to the two Rio Grande City cases announced by the county on Saturday, which were later downgraded to “probable” cases by the Texas Department of State Health Services.
