Why Houston could become worst affected by COVID-19

Dr. Peter Hotez, Dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, said if the spike in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue, the city of Houston could become the worst impacted city in the U.S.

"We are potentially facing a very serious public health threat," he said.

He told ABC13's Mayra Moreno he began noticing the numbers going up after the Memorial Day holiday.

During a briefing on Monday, Mayor Sylvester Turner reported 1,789 new COVID-19 cases, adding to Houston's total of 14,322. Monday's total is the most the city has reported in one day so far.
