A seventh Park County resident has died from COVID-19, the Park County Health Department announced Wednesday, the first COVID-19 death in the county in 2021.
The deceased was a man in his 90s, Park County Health Officer Dr. Laurel Desnick said in a video update Wednesday.
COVID-19 cases continue to trend down in Park County with about five new cases per day, Desnick said, and the county isn’t seeing a post-holiday rise in cases thus far, although it’s still too early to feel secure in that trend.
