Of those who died, three individuals were from Kent County, and one and one were from Sussex County. Those who died ranged in age from their 70s to their 90s, and one was a resident of a long-term care facility. The deaths increased Delaware’s total number of Covid-related deaths to 1,511.
The other numbers:
