COOPERSTOWN – Four new COVID-19 deaths were reported today, marking the highest single-day reported total yet, according to Heidi Bond, Otsego County Public Health Director.
“They have all been sick for a while and were all hospitalized,” Bond said. Two were male and two were female, all over age 55.
There have been 16 deaths in the county since the first cases were reported in March, but with seven of the deaths in December, Bond warns that this pattern is trending in a worse direction than before, attributing the month's increase in cases to travel for Thanksgiving.
