SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Onondaga County has confirmed its first coronavirus-related death.

"I stand here with a heavy heart today,” County Executive Ryan McMahon said Tuesday at a 3 p.m. news conference. “We’ve had our first death in the community from the Covid-19 disease.”

This is the second confirmed coronavirus death in Central New York. Sunday, an elderly man from Madison County.

There are now 60 people countywide confirmed to have coronavirus, including eight hospitalized and three in critical condition, McMahon said. That’s seven more confirmed people with the virus than were reported Monday.

Onondaga County’s map has been updated with new cases.

The new totals by community are Syracuse: 18; Clay: 8; Salina: 8; Cicero: 5; Camillus: 4; Onondaga: 4; Manlius: 3; Pompey: 3; Skaneateles: 3; Lysander: 2; Geddes: 1; LaFayette: 1.

The infected persons are still spread evenly over nearly all age groups, absent young children. However, there are now three teenage patients. This is the breakdown:

Teens: 3 cases (16, 18 and 19)

20s : 13 cases

30s: 7 cases

40s: 9 cases

50s: 11 cases

60s: 7 cases

70s: 9 cases

80s: 1 case

There have been 1,333 test results returned in Onondaga County, with roughly 800 tests still out there, McMahon said. The infection rate continues to be between 3 and 5 percent of total tests.

First Onondaga County death

The deceased was an elderly person in the hospital, according to the Onondaga County Health Department.

For privacy reasons, the Health Department will not release the person’s name or other details.

“I am deeply saddened for the family of this individual who are experiencing this loss," said Dr. Indu Gupta, Onondaga County Commissioner of Health. “This sad news proves how important it is to take measures to protect ourselves, our families and our community.”

As of Monday afternoon, Onondaga County had 53 confirmed cases of COVID-19. Five people were hospitalized Monday afternoon and two were in critical condition. The person who died was one of the hospitalized patients.

Officials expect that number to grow as labs around the state and the country work their way through a backlog of coronavirus tests.

There are roughly 800 tests taken in Onondaga County that haven’t yet returned results. McMahon said we’ll see a flood of results each day this week. He said the surge in test results might start winding down Friday, absent a spike in community spread.

Some other numbers from Tuesday:

53 cases are considered to have been contracted individually, meaning from outside family contact

7 cases were contracted via contact with a known infected person

8 of the individual cases have been linked together through social contact -- that means contact outside of immediate family

29 women and 31 men have the virus

There are now 206 people in mandatory quarantine, either after getting the virus or being suspected of having close contact with an infected person.

Infected cases involving public places:

The following are cases of Covid-19 involving people who worked or attended functions in public places. Some of those situations have led county officials to issue warnings of a possible public threat. In other cases, the county says it’s confident that its investigation showed there is no known public health threat.
