MISSOURI CITY, Texas – Missouri City officials are sounding the alarm after an outbreak of the coronavirus is being reported at the Paradigm at First Colony. There’s been 38 COVID-19 cases, 19 deaths and 24 infected staff members at the nursing home, according to Fort Bend County. “It’s really getting out of hand,” said Moises Moreno, who lives at the facility.

Brown went on to say the investigation by Texas Health and Human services will show if the nursing home was following rules and regulations.
