After taking "great precautions" for months, a Texas family gathered together on Nov.

Alexa Aragonez said her family prided themselves on following COVID-19 precautions for months before a dozen of them gathered Nov. 1 for a "low-key" get-together.

Alexa Aragonez says more than a dozen members of her family were sickened with COVID-19 after a family gathering on November 1.

The virus likely made its way to the gathering through one family member whose job required her to work outside her home, Aragonez said.

The family has a new plan for Thanksgiving: Those who aren't sick are cooking on their own, then dropping the food off at other family members' homes for contactless delivery

The family will be “all eating the same food but apart,” Aragonez said
