NUECES COUNTY, Texas — Editor's note: The video above is from August 9.
An emergency notice was issued early Tuesday morning by the City of Corpus Christi's Office of Emergency Management.
In the "Reverse Alert," members of the community were notified that healthcare facilities are open but resources are limited due to a surge in coronavirus cases.
In the alert, health officials said people should continue social distancing, wearing a mask and get vaccinated.
Later this afternoon, Nueces County Judge Barbara Canales will hold a press conference to discuss the Rapid Infusion Centers being established in Nueces County to combat COVID-19.
According to County leaders, Infusion therapy administers monoclonal antibodies to stimulate the immune system in at-risk patients suffering from mild-to-moderate COVID symptoms and can help patients avoid hospitalization by lessening the symptoms and shortening the duration of their illness.
Judge Canales will be joined by Nueces County Commissioner John Marez, CHRISTUS-Spohn CEO Dr. Osbert Blow, Corpus Christ-Nueces County Public Health Director Annette Rodrigues and other personnel supporting the centers.
