Texas National Guard Deployed To Help El Paso With Morgue Overflow

The Texas National Guard helps the City of El Paso’s funeral homes handle the dead from COVID-19. It is coming on the heels of the Air Force sending medical teams to work in city hospitals.

The team is working at the El Paso University Medical Center. The city keeps setting daily records for the number of infections from COVID, and the virus has caused more than 300 deaths since October, 853 total since the pandemic began.
