The deaths were a: 79-year-old male and a 76-year-old female, the DOH reported. Neither's case of coronavirus was travel-related.

Brevard County Commission Chairman Bryan Lober said the woman had spent 13 days at a Health First-affiliated hospital, and died Monday afternoon. Lober and Maria Stahl, administrator for the Brevard County Health Department in Brevard, said both of the people had underlying health conditions.

"Unfortunately, as we have seen by having two (deaths) announced at the same time, there are certain to be more," Lober said, especially as case numbers continue to rise. "It's likely not going to be long before we see another local death."
