Press Release of the Humboldt County Joint Information Center:
A 35de Humboldt County resident died of COVID-19, and 11 new cases have been reported today. It has been established that two cases previously reported are duplicates, and it has therefore been counted from the province’s case. The total number of provincial residents who tested positive for the virus now stands at 3,392.
The community member who passed away was in their 70s. Staff at Humboldt County Public Health and the Emergency Operations Center express their condolences to the person’s family, friends and caregivers.
