Jefferson County Health Department updated their reports today to reflect two additional COVID-19 deaths. These updates bring the total of COVID-19 deaths in Jefferson County to 96.
Both deaths reported were based in the community. The residents were:
- Male, 80’s
- Female, 90’s
“Our community has lost two more beautiful souls to this virus,” states Jefferson County Health Department Director, Kelley Vollmar. “How many more will it take to change the hearts and minds of our community?” “The enormous strain that COVID illness has placed on our healthcare system is not only reflected in the number of deaths that are attributed to COVID, but also in those that would have been prevented if healthcare resources were not overrun by a preventable illness.”
Jefferson County Health Department will post COVID-19 death information on their dashboard once a week on Wednesday as reports are updated from the state. For the latest updates and more information about COVID-19, visit Jefferson County Health Department website www.jeffcohealth.org.
