Half of Harford County’s ZIP codes now have eight or more confirmed coronavirus cases, including the communities of Havre de Grace, Fallston and Street, according to the latest data released Monday from the Maryland Department of Health.
Total confirmed cases in the county reached 226 on Monday, a jump of 50 since Friday morning, when County Executive Barry Glassman and the local health department announced the first confirmed COVID-19 related death in Harford.
The 27-year-old male had underlying health conditions, Glassman said Friday. The Harford County Health Department later confirmed he was one of the six “probable” deaths reported by the state earlier in the week.
"We are saddened to hear of this news and our thoughts go out to the family of this young man," Harford County Health Officer Dr. Russell Moy said in a prepared statement.
"In this time of great uncertainty, we worry about all those who have fallen ill and those who we know are vulnerable. Please stay home to protect everyone in Harford County.”
As of 10 a.m. Monday, it continued to be the only confirmed coronavirus death in Harford, with five others considered probable, meaning COVID-19 was listed on a person’s death certificate, but it had not yet been confirmed by laboratory testing.
ZIP codes in the central part of the county continue to make up the majority of confirmed cases in Harford. Bel Air’s two ZIP codes, along with Edgewood, Forest Hill and Abingdon, account for 150 cases, roughly two-thirds of the total confirmed cases in the county.
