Naugatuck Valley Health District: 5 more COVID-19 associated deaths
From the NVHD Facebook page Friday evening:
"Today, NVHD learned of five laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 associated deaths among Valley residents. One individual was a Naugatuck female in her 70s and another individual was an Ansonia male in his 60s. The additional 3 deaths were residents of nursing homes in Seymour (1) and Shelton (2). We extend our sincere condolences to the families of the individuals who have lost their loved ones due to COVID-19 complications.
"Deaths reported to and by NVHD occurred within the last week, not necessarily since the last NVHD report.
"For public health surveillance, laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 associated deaths are defined as patients who tested positive for COVID-19 around the time of death; this is not a determination of the cause of death. The health district does not have further details including whether there may have been underlying health issues or other contributing factors.
"On April 10, 2020, the state Department of Public Health started to include COVID-19 deaths that are not laboratory-confirmed in daily reporting.
"NVHD will now report on COVID-19 associated deaths including both a) persons who tested positive for COVID-19 around the time of death (laboratory-confirmed) and b) persons who were not tested for COVID-19 whose death certificate lists COVID-19 disease as a cause of death or as a significant condition contributing to deaths (probable) in Table 2.
"NVHD has linked free mental health and wellness resources for individuals, families, and first responders who may be experiencing heightened anxiety, stress, and other emotions during this pandemic at www.nvhd.org/coping."
