An outbreak of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) that began in Wuhan, China, has spread rapidly, with cases now confirmed in multiple countries. The first case of 2020-nCoV infection confirmed in the City of Eagle Pass was on March 21, 2020 . This case highlights the importance of close coordination between clinicians and public health authorities at the local, state, and federal levels, as well as the need for rapid dissemination of clinical information related to the care of patients with this emerging infection.

On March 21, 2020, a man age unknown at this time was conformed to have tested positive for novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). He disclosed that he had visited two places in our community on March 18 a restaurant called El Rincon De Veronica

he also visited on March 19 the local HEB .

TDHS has requested if you visited those places to wait to see if you have any symptoms before visiting your doctor.

The City of Eagle Pass and Maverick County have been working around the clock to make sure people don't gather in groups larger that 10 people. This is to minimize the spread of the virus. On Friday March 19, 2020 many restaurants were closing their dining areas to avoid having groups of people together.

Still the city and county reminded everyone to please don't gather in large groups and please don't go buying everything from local stores. The stores will have enough for everyone if we just go to buy what we need.
