BATH – The Steuben County Public Health Department received notification of the death of two individuals who had previously tested positive for COVID-19.

The individuals were both residents of Absolut Care Three Rivers; one was a female who died at age 95 and the other was a male who died at age 92.
“COVID-19 has been difficult for most of us, but even more so for the families who have lost their loved ones,” said Public Health Director, Darlene Smith. “It has been especially hard for those families who lost loved ones in nursing homes and who were not able to see them regularly in what turned out to be their last year of life. Be mindful in your activities to increase the chance that loved ones are around next year.”
