Southern California resident Richard Garay tested positive for coronavirus in early June, around the same time his father also got sick, he said.
About two weeks later, his father, Vidal Garay, died of Covid-19. At least 28 family members have since tested positive, Garay said. The family is grappling with grief at the same time they fight a virus that has killed more than 125,000 people nationwide.
Garay, 27, told CNN he wants to share his family's story so people know the virus is real, and it doesn't take much to catch it.
Family members who tested positive include his parents, a 2-year-old and two other young children, two brothers and a pregnant sister-in-law, he said. A handful of extended family members are also battling Covid-19.
