GRMC provides public Cake Chaos, update on COVID-19 Buyer Beware ness with symptoms of cough, fever, and shortness of breath. Some patients develop pneumonia and a small amount of these patients have fatal cases. Testing and Treatment: A test for COVID-19 can only be ordered by a physician with preapproval by the Local Health Department or DSHS Public Health Region to ensure the patient meets Person Under Investigation (PUI) criteria for testing to obtain DSHS approval to test.

(Seguin) -- The Texas Department of State Health Services has confirmed 12 total cases of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Fort Bend County and Harris County Texas. These cases are all related to voyages on a Nile River cruise in Egypt. Public health departments are working to identify any close contacts of those patients while they were sick so they can be isolated and monitored for symptoms and tested, if needed. With this in mind Guadalupe Regional Medical Center would like to communicate to its community some facts as they are known at the moment to educate and coordinate care. COVID-19 Overview: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. The virus that causes COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus that was first identified during an investigation into an outbreak in Wuhan, China. Patients with COVID 19- have mild to severe respiratory ill-

There is no specific antiviral treatment for COVID-19. People with COVID-19 may seek medical care to help relieve symptoms. Currently, there is no vaccine to protect against COVID-19. Local Preparedness: Guadalupe Regional Medical Center is carefully monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak and has a preparedness plan in place for identifying, triaging, and treating patients with suspected COVID-19. We are in close contact with the Texas Department of Health and Human Services via a daily call and are monitoring Centers for Disease Control recommendations as this scenario unfolds. GRMC is also partnering with STRAC (South Texas Regional Advisory Council) on emergency preparedness and communicating with the local medical community.

(Seguin) -- The old phrase "let the buyer beware" is ringing true again right here in Seguin. At least, that's the case for a local woman, who learned this lesson the hard way when she went to a local baker to get a cake for her son's birthday party, but what she got instead was a repackaged product from a big box store that likely would have cost her a lot less if she had not put her trust into the bakery. This story all unfolded on Saturday, Feb. 29 for local resident Amy Glenewinkel. After placing a cake order for her son's 11th birthday at Superior Cakes and Bakery located at 1400 N. Austin St., Glenewinkel says she happened to run into the owner of the bakery, Sergio Herrera Sr., on the day of her son's birthday party while shopping at the Seguin Walmart store. Glenewinkel says when she crossed paths with Herrera at the store, she couldn't help but notice the sheet cake he was purchasing. She says it not only was a sheet cake with green icing

but it also included the same name as her son, Dylan. While she admits the whole thing could have been a coincidence, she couldn't help but question Herrera about whether or not that cake was hers. "When I approached him, I was nice about it -- nice and firm I asked him -- I said 'Sergio, please tell me this is not my cake. The cake for 4 o'clock today' and I said 'if it is, please let me know now' and he looked me straight in the eye and he said 'no ma'am.' He said 'your cake is at the bakery right now being made' and I said 'okay.' I

said 'if I find out that you are lying to me, I told him I'm going to go to social media and let everybody know that you are selling me a Walmart cake. He said 'no ma'am, no ma'am, your cake is at the bakery.' I said 'okay.' I let it be. I walked back to the bakery department to clarify that that was the one -- that I was seeing everything correctly and then I left and drove to the bakery," said Glenewinkel. Upon arriving to the bakery, Glenewinkel says that's when things just didn't getting better. See CAKE, page 3
