El reportero en línea declaró en una transmisión en vivo que la información provenía de una fuente no identificada.
El juez del condado de Maverick, David Saucedo, y el alcalde de Eagle Pass, Luis Sifuentes, negaron y corrigieron rotundamente el reclamo sin fundamento. "Podemos decirle con certeza que eso no es cierto. A partir de hoy, el Estado solo tiene un miembro de la tribu Kickapoo que dio positivo.
Sabemos que la tribu y el casino han pedido a todos sus empleados que se hagan la prueba. ¡No! "No hay 150 casos de COVID- 19 en los empleados de KTT o Casino", dijo el alcalde Sifuentes. "No sabemos de dónde sacó la información el reportero en cuestión, pero la hemos verificado.
La autoridad de salud local Dr. Victoriano Valdez ha habló con el personal de la tribu Kickapoo, y tienen un caso positivo hasta el viernes ". "Ese informe de 150 casos no era cierto", concluyó Sifuentes.
Officials correct media claim that tribe has 150 positive Covid-19 cases
On Monday evening, local officials had to correct an online media organization from Coahuila who on Sunday evening reported that the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas has approximately 150 positive COVID- 19 Virus cases.
The online reporter stated in a live feed that the information was coming from an unidentified source.
Maverick County Judge David Saucedo and Eagle Pass Mayor Luis Sifuentes both adamantly denied and corrected the unsubstantiated claim. "We can tell you with certainty that is not true. As of today, the State only has one member of the Kickapoo Tribe who has tested positive.
We do know that the tribe and casino have asked all their employees to get tested. No! There is not 150 cases of COVID-19 at the KTT or Casino employees,” said Mayor Sifuentes. “We don't know where the reporter in question got the information, but we have verified it.
Local Health Authority Dr. Victoriano Valdez has talked to the Staff at the Kickapoo Tribe, and they have one positive case as of Friday.” “That report of 150 cases was not true,” concluded Sifuentes.
