83 (~32%) of the 255 individuals have passed away due to COVID-19 complications.
Today, NVHD learned of one laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 associated death, a 92-year-old female nursing home resident in Shelton. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.
Statewide COVD-19 data is available at https://portal.ct.gov/coronavirus and is also linked on the NVHD website www.nvhd.org/covid19-data.
As a reminder, all data reported is preliminary and subject to change. Test results may be reported several days after the result.
Patient information may be updated after results have already been reported. Changes will be reflected in the new daily totals.
NVHD receives data and confirmation reports from the following sources:
CT Department of Public Health, Hospitals, Health Care Providers, Laboratories, and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. Sometimes, the local health department receives reports before the State DPH and therefore the numbers reported by NVHD may differ from the daily report on the State of CT website.
