RGV COVID-19: Cameron County Reports Highest Single-Day Increase At 731 New Cases

As of July 30, over 29,000 cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed across the Rio Grande Valley's four counties.

A South Texas region exhausted by a months-long struggle with COVID-19, drought and economic distress now marshaled its resources to endure one more massive challenge: Hanna, the first Atlantic hurricane of 2020. The cyclone made two landfalls Saturday evening with damaging winds, over 15 inches of torrential rain and flooding in some parts of the region.

On Thursday, Hidalgo County reported 271 new COVID-19 cases and 40 additional deaths.

The latest reported fatalities include a male in his 20s from Alton, a male in his 30s from Weslaco, a female in her 40s from Donna, and seven people in their 50s. The remainder of the group were seniors in their 60s or older.
