To date, there have also been 79 deaths (+6). Of reported deaths, 72 are confirmed (had positive test) and 7 probable.

All deaths are of individuals ranging in age from 42-103, with 84 being the median age of those who have died.

We continue to extend our deepest sympathies to the families and friends of those who have lost loved ones, and our thoughts go out to all those who have been impacted by the virus.
