Special to El Rrun-Rrun
Guess what?
It turns out that it wasn't just the son of FINSA magnate Sergio Arguelles who came back from a trip to Spain and Ireland between March 5 and March 12 carrying COVID-19 infection, but rather another 11 fellow St. Joseph Academy students who were on the same trip.
They said that the younger Arguelles, 21, tested positive after traveling to Ireland and Spain between March 5 and March 12. He returned to his Rancho Viejo residence and came in contact with numerous relatives and neighbors. Ricardo Adobbati, a local attorney, was said to have picked him and his son - also a St. Joe student graduate - and drove them to South Padre Island.
The younger Arguelles was taken to Valley Baptist Medical Center in Harlingen with symptoms of fever and cough and tested positive for COVID-19. The younger Adobbati is said to be in self-quarantine at a SPI condo.
Another of the group was said to have been taken to a private clinic in Monterrey, N.L., Mexico.
It is unknown if the Cameron County Health Dept.. was alerted that the 12-member group had been exposed to the virus in Spain or Ireland and whether all the tour members were screened for COVID-19.
Or have they been loose in the general community without anyone knowing whether they were infected?
