The Northeast Health District added two COVID-19 Deaths On Monday, one in the Department of Public Health Daily Status Report and the other in the Department of Community Affairs Long-Term Care Facility Report.
The death listed in the Department Public Health report was of an 81-year-female in Walton County without a known chronic condition.
Walton County now has 53 of the 243 deaths attributed to COVID-19 in the 10-county Northeast Health District and leads the District in terms of the number of deaths from the virus.
The seven-day rolling average of added deaths listed in the Daily Status Report, the state’s official count of deaths, increased from 2.3 deaths per day on Sunday to 2.4 deaths per day on Monday.
The death in the Department of Community Health Long-Term Care Facility Report was at Legacy Health and Rehabilitation nursing home in Greene County.
The Department of Community Health gathers data submitted on a voluntary basis from long-term care facilities in the state for its report, but the electronic document itself is assembled and distributed by the Department of Public Health.
The Greene County death listed in the Department of Community Health report is not listed in the Department of Public Health Report. Such a discrepancy is usual.
