Corpus Christi official issues plea to tourists: Stay home, weโre in โfree fallโ
HOUSTON โ Nueces County Judge Barbara Canales issued a plea Monday to tourists: Donโt come to Corpus Christi beaches and stay home. Canales, who spoke with the Corpus Christi Caller-Times, called the request โalmost unthinkableโ amid โfreefall (COVID-19) conditionsโ believed to be linked to the sheer numbers of tourists drawn to the Gulf Coast. โFor the next few weeksโฆ the coast is just not clear to come home to right now,โ Canales told the newspaper. โPlease do everything you can to help us stabilize. We are not stable โ we are in a free fall โ and we need some help from Texas.โFor more, go to the newspaperโs full report.
