BATH – The Steuben County Public Health Department received notification of the death of three individuals who had previously tested positive for COVID. This brings the total number of COVID-19 related deaths in Steuben County to 226.
One individual was a male resident from the Village of Canisteo who died at the age of 56. One was a male resident from the Town of Campbell who died at the age of 50, and one was a male resident from the Town of Bath who died at the age of 59.
“Each time we learn of another COVID death, we are reminded how unpredictable this virus can be,” said Public Health Director, Darlene Smith. “Recently we’ve seen a number of deaths of individuals who are in their fifties, tragically younger than life expectancy. We all must do everything we can to protect our loved ones and slow the spread of this potentially deadly virus.”
