WILMINGTON — Two more Clinton County residents with COVID-19 have died, the Clinton County Health District reported Thursday morning.
The victims are a man in his 60s and a woman in her 80s, neither of which were reported to have underlying conditions.
These deaths are the fourth and fifth reported local coronavirus-related deaths in the past nine days and the 11th since early July (and 11th overall).
None of the five most recent victims had underlying conditions, the CCHD reported. The first six victims were reported to have underlying medical conditions.
CCHD Director Pamela Bauer also explained why the state’s COVID-19 statistics don’t always match up with those reported by local officials.
“The counts can fluctuate due to jurisdictional changes by the Ohio Department of Health,” said Bauer. “The public demands information be reported in real time, but that is sometimes a challenge.”
