The Health Department extends our condolences to everyone impacted by these losses. We take each loss personally and our hearts are with you.   

Reporting 17 deaths and crossing the 200 total deaths milestone are the latest in a string of tragic new records. These are devastating but not surprising reminders that the case surge we have experienced over the past several weeks brings heartbreaking results,” said Director of Health Clay Goddard.

“It has been a long, hard year, but we owe it to one another to do everything we can to prevent the spread of this illness, especially for those most vulnerable. A vaccine is on the way. We have entered the final leg of this marathon, but we need to finish strong.” 

A total of 216 Greene County residents have died from COVID-19. Twenty deaths have been announced by the Health Department in the first three days of December.
