Fox News
Texas is requesting five mortuary trailers in anticipation of an increase in dead bodies as the delta variant surges, while the state also prepares to house thousands of Afghan refugees in addition to coping with the border crisis.
The trailers would come from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and be stationed in San Antonio, where they would then move to various Texas locations if local leaders request them, Loveday told NBC News. "We haven't gotten any local requests, but we want to be ready with the COVID cases in the state," Department of State Health Services Chris Van Deusen added, according to the outlet. "We didn't want to wait."More Related News
