Pennsylvania recorded its third death from coronavirus Sunday, a 72-year-old man in Montgomery County.

County officials announced the death shortly after 5 p.m. Sunday. It was the first known death from Covid-19 in Montgomery County.

The patient resided in Abington Township and had been hospitalized for several days, according to a news release by Montgomery County. He died Saturday.

“Today, we are deeply saddened to announce the first loss of life to COVID-19 in Montgomery County,” the news release said quoting Valerie A. Arkoosh, chair of the county commissioners. “On behalf of our entire community, we extend our most heartfelt condolences to the loved ones of this individual.”

Arkoosh said: “While most people with COVID-19 exhibit mild or moderate symptoms, this loss of life underscores the urgent need for everyone to stay at home, unless absolutely necessary, to protect individuals who are particularly vulnerable to developing more serious illness, including the elderly and those with underlying health conditions, as well as our critical workforces like healthcare workers and first responders.”
