Three more Dare County residents have died from COVID-19, the Dare County Dept. of Health and Human Services reported today on its dashboard.
The DCDHHS gave no personal details about the people who died, but a reduction in the number of hospitalizations on the dashboard suggests all three were hospitalized at the time of their deaths.
