Naugatuck Valley Health District: 6 more COVID-19 associated deaths

The district now has hit 1,021 cases and has sadly reported on 110 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 associated deaths since the first case was reported by NVHD in mid-March.

We are saddened to announce six laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 associated deaths, all residents of nursing homes within Seymour (1) and Shelton (5). 

We extend our sincerest condolences to the families and friends of those who have passed away due to COVID-19 complications.

The deaths reported to NVHD today occurred within the last week, not necessarily since the last NVHD report.

275 (~27%) of the 1,021 total confirmed cases among Valley residents are individuals who currently reside in a nursing home, assisted living facility, group home, or other similar setting.

99 (~36%) of the 275 individuals have passed away due to COVID-19 complications. Please scroll through the images for additional COVID-19 associated death data.

Please be advised that some towns have multiple facilities reporting COVID-19 cases. Cases are reported by the individual's permanent address, not the town of the facility in which they may be receiving treatment or recovering. This data is subject to change since some individuals may end up leaving a facility to recover at their homes or may become permanent residents of a facility.

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.

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, Healthcare 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.
