Over 400 people across the Valley are hospitalized due to COVID-19, 167 of them are in Cameron County.
Officials said residents following the CDC guidelines have helped slow the spread but the post-Thanksgiving spikes are worrying.
Chief Executive Officer for Valley Baptist Medical Center Leslie Bingham said 78% of people going to the hospital because of COVID-19 are citing exposure to positive family members.
Cameron County Judge Eddie Trevino Jr. is urging people to continue following the safety guidelines and avoid mass gatherings during the Christmas holiday.
