Today, the Department of Public Health was notified of two COVID-19 related deaths involving St. Charles County residents. This increases the total number of COVID-19 related deaths in the county to 159 (since this press release, the dashboard has reported three more deaths):
-
- A male in his 90s
- A female in her 80s
More information regarding numbers in quarantine, percentages of exposure types, percentage increases and decreases in cases, deaths, and quarantines, as well as a chart of daily totals and 14-day moving averages of confirmed cases are available on the County Health Department’s COVID-19 dashboard.
Just curious, does the tracking determine how many people die FROM Covid vs people who die while infected? If you are asymptomatic with Covid, but die from heart disease, is that a Covid death?
