Westchester County Executive said that the county has seen 718 area residents hospitalized, while 377 are still being treated as of Monday afternoon, April 6. There have been 211 reported deaths.
As earlier reported, Westchester County Executive George Latimer ordered that the flags at all county facilities be flown at half-staff to celebrate and honor the lives of county residents who died from the virus.
In response to the outbreak, a refrigerated morgue trailer was shipped into Westchester County as the death toll continues to rise.
“We each now know individuals in our own circles who have lost a loved one, and the emotional toll and difficulty in losing someone we love is so difficult and it’s only exasperated by knowing it was a result of this virus,” Latimer said.
