s of the first day of November in this, one of the most challenging years in memory, Hidalgo County will have been operating under a state of maximum emergency readiness for 225 days. In those seven months and eleven days, county leaders and county residents have learned a lot about community, resilience – and resolve. “I am so proud of so many of the residents of Hidalgo County,” declared Hidalgo County Judge Richard F. Cortez. “We began educating the people of Hidalgo County about all that we knew of this new and deadly disease beginning in early March. And more and more people in the county began to respond. To those who complied with these safety measures: we thank you. And for who chose not to comply: it’s still not too late. This is the definition of community: neighbors looking out for neighbors.”
