The number of coronavirus cases are overwhelming hospitals. El Paso Mayor Dee Margo says, "As I remind people, these numbers are people and that's what we're dealing with. "
Mayor Margo also says, "37 % of the positives were from people visiting big box stores in El Paso. 22.5 % of the positives were from people visiting restaurants in El Paso. 19 % of the positives were from people traveling to Mexico. "
El Paso County now has a daily curfew from 10 p.m. to 5a.m. Dr. David Lakey with the Texas Medical Association COVID-19 Task Force says, "I think we'll see increases in other parts of the state as this continues to play out over the winter."
