2 more Tri-Cities coronavirus deaths. Public health prepares for influx of farm workers
Two more deaths from complications of COVID-19 were reported Thursday in Benton and Franklin counties.
The 14 deaths reported so far this week bring the total to 64 deaths.
The latest deaths were a Benton County woman in her 90s and a Franklin County man in his 70s, both with underlying health conditions.
The number of deaths, particularly in Benton County, may be partly explained by other health trends, said Rick Dawson, a senior manager for the Benton Franklin Health District.
All but three people who have died have had underlying health conditions that are risk factors for severe cases of COVID-19.
