Texas funeral became coronavirus superspreader event after 42 were sickened, family claims - Fox News

A Texas family says their mother’s funeral, held earlier this month, turned into a super-spreader event after more than 40 people came down with coronavirus.

Delynda Cruz, whose mother the funeral was held for, told Fox 4 News she started feeling sick about two days after the Nov.

“I got chills on Tuesday night,” she told the news outlet.

Cruz said that the family is speaking out after more than 100 people came to honor her mother because they want others to be cognizant of the risk of coronavirus.

“It was frightening knowing that I could’ve been the one that gave [it to] my 90-year-old aunt,” she told the news outlet.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) considers large in-person gatherings and services held indoors where it is difficult for people to maintain 6 feet of distance to be an activity that is among the “highest risk.”.
