Comal County Sheriff Mark Reynolds on Tuesday confirmed five offenders tested positive for COVID-19 this week but disputed claims posted on social media on the severity of the first coronavirus cases at the new county jail.
âDuring the normal (screening) checks five people tested positive â the first cases weâve had at the jail,â Reynolds said. âThey have been isolated in negative-pressure cells and quarantined away from the others. Itâs not a rampant outbreak, despite what others might be saying.â
Comal has agreements with Bell, Hays and Coryell counties to house offenders at $65 per inmate per day, inside the local 582-bed lockup and has yet to board offenders held by San Antonioâs U.S. Marshalâs Service at $100 per offender per day.Â
“Growth is the word that describes Mexican horticulture best”
“Growth is the word that would describe recent developments in Mexican horticulture best,” says Juan Labastida with Enza Zaden Mexico, adding that consumer demand has been the biggest boost for the growth of the sector. Recently, the breeding company announced a collaboration with Mexican seed distributor Ahern Seeds, which now is the sole vendor of the Enza Zaden cucumber assortment. “Together we can be close to growers in every region and develop products that answer to the markets’ demand.”

With over 115 million people living in Mexico and US and Canada as main export markets, it´s quite a daring challenge, so technology comes in hand to provide new solution and make fresh produce better available,” Juan says w
