She was taken to Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas by her mom Kristle.
Doctors told Ms Gongora to take her daughter home while making her comfortable and monitoring her fever , Makenzie s aunt Victoria Southworth told Today.
She said: Kenzie did not have any respiratory issues. There was nothing major going on.
Her symptoms were mild, and she seemed to be getting better. But then three days after being diagnosed with COVID-19, 9-year-old Makenzie Gongora of San Antonio, Texas, died in her sleep.

In a world where a 4th grade girl just died overnight after a positive Covid-19 test, an NFL quarterback (Brady) who walked into the Super Bowl without a mask ought to be spit upon, in every public appearance, for the rest of time.
Makenzie Gongora s family members want to raise awareness that COVID-19 can also be potentially serious for children.
In the early hours of February 2, nine-year-old Makenzie Gongora of San Antonio, Texas, died suddenly after her mother, Kristle Gongora, had tucked her into bed. Members on both sides of her family suggest she died three days after testing positive for COVID-19 in TODAY interviews.
