Tamales in the time of COVID

It’s tamale season. And nowhere is the holiday tradition more beloved here than along the border. But this Christmas COVID is impacting who makes tamales and how people get them. KTEP’s Angela Kocherga has the story.
EL PASO -- The phone is ringing off the hook and people are lined up outside of Bowie Bakery in West El Paso. The shop is only allowing three customers inside at time as a COVID-19 precaution. With Christmas around the corner, the bakery is even busier than usual this holiday season.
“So we’re buying red tamales for the office. We figured we’d spread some holiday cheer for our 14 employees,” Fred Lopez said as he was paying for his order.
