Texas Mayor Declares Emergency Over Coronavirus

  • 4 years ago
San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg has declared a health emergency for his city.
This is in a bid to address those in a federal coronavirus quarantine at a nearby air force base.
The declaration would force the base to remain locked down until more testing is done.
Nirenberg said his decision came after a woman was released from quarantine by federal officials on Saturday.
Reuters reports that she tested positive for coronavirus after she was free.
