A través de la angustia de ver morir a tantas personas por complicaciones derivadas de Covid-19, han tenido que enfrentar circunstancias insondables, incluido ver los cuerpos de los fallecidos alineados en nuestras morgues locales esperando ser enterrados.

Después de ver el problema de acomodar tristemente a los fallecidos y darse cuenta de que en cualquier momento esos depósitos de cadáveres inundados podrían quedarse sin espacio, tomaron la difícil decisión de comprar un camión refrigerado ya que COVID-19 continúa cobrando la vida de muchos residentes.

El camión refrigerado ya llegó y estará estacionado en un área no revelada de la comunidad. Con suerte, no se utilizará ya que todos rezamos para que el número de víctimas fatales comience a disminuir.

El alcalde de Eagle Pass, Luis Sifuentes, y el juez del condado de Maverick, David Saucedo, el personal del Concilio Municipal, la Corte de Comisionados y el Centro de Operaciones de Emergencia piden a la comunidad a hacer todo lo posible para mantenerse a salvo y ayudar a detener la propagación de un virus que se ha llevado a 84 de los residentes de nuestra comunidad y infectado más de 3000.

Covid 19 refrigerated truck arrives in our community

Our community leaders, like many others across the nation have been faced with very hard decisions unlike anything ever experienced in our lifetime.

Through the heartbreak of seeing so many constituents die from complications stemming from Covid-19, they have had to face unfathomable circumstances including seeing bodies of those deceased lined up in our local mortuaries waiting to be buried.

After seeing the problem of sadly accommodating the deceased and a realization that at any moment those inundated mortuaries could run out of space they took the hard decision to purchase a refrigerated truck as COVID-19 continues to claim the lives of many residents.

The refrigerated truck has now arrived and will be stationed at an undisclosed area in the community.

Hopefully, it will not be used as we all pray that the number of fatalities begin to decrease.

Eagle Pass Mayor Luis Sifuentes and Maverick County Judge David Saucedo, City Council, Commissioners Court, and Emergency Operation Center personnel urge the community to do everything possible to stay safe and help stop the spread of a Virus that has taken 84 of our community residents and infected over 3,000.
