The Rappahannock Area Health District says a Stafford man in his 80’s died Saturday morning from COVID-19 at Mary Washington Hospital. He’s the first in Stafford and the third in the region. A Stafford County press release said: “The family has been notified of both the death and his COVID-19 status. The Rappahannock Area Health District has contacted those individuals who have come in close contact with this individual and has had them self-quarantine for 14-days from exposure.”
“Stafford grieves for the family and loved ones of the county resident who passed away, including the minds and spirits of our community through this challenging time,” said Meg Bohmke, Chairman of the Stafford County Board of Supervisors (Falmouth District). “Since the onset of this outbreak, we have taken critical steps to ensure that the health and safety of our community is our number one priority. Working closely with our congressman and state and local officials, Stafford will remain vigilant through this pandemic to meet the needs of our residents.”
