Brownsville, Texas Mayor Trey Mendez told Fox News on Thursday his city is not experiencing a coronavirus positivity rate among border crossers at a "crisis" level yet, but he understands the concerns of officials in his and other areas along the U.S.-Mexico line. We’re still seeing a positivity rate of well below 10%," said Mendez on "Your World". Mendez's city sits at the southeast corner of the state, across from the city of Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Mendez said that there has been a slight short-term uptick in border crossers from Tamaulipas state, after officials there cleared out a migrant encampment. "The city of Brownsville felt it was good to get a good handle on this and test people out of [concern for] public health.
