The news outlet says the boy was a teenager who only has mild symptoms but tested positive for both, the flu and covid. The family took a vacation to Cabo San Lucas but he was the only one feeling sick. One other family member tested positive for Covid, but the teenager was the only one who tested positive for both. 

Steven Berzan, the operations chief of 911 COVID Testing, doesn’t want folks to get too alarmed but has sent out a message for Americans to continue wearing a mask, washing hands and staying home if feeling sick.

“We were in contact with the mother yesterday, the child is in good spirits, and at home and doing well” shared by Steve Farzam of 911 COVID testing.

This is the first time that the “Flurona” has hit in the US, but according to reports a pregnant woman tested positive for it in Israel, but only suffered mild symptoms. #Socialites do you think the flurona is something we should be concerned about?
