One hundred Kanawha County residents have now died of COVID-19. The county’s 99th and 100th deaths were a 73-year-old male and a 94-year-old male.
“We send our condolences to the families of those we have lost to this disease,” said Dr. Sherri Young, health officer and executive director of the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department. “One hundred lives lost is too many. We must do what we can to stop this virus from continuing to spread. We cannot let those lost be a number, they were a person who had family and friends, and the entire community mourns their passing.”
