Military Times | COVID-19 cases among veterans in New Orleans, New York continue steep rise: Map
Since Veterans Affairs leaders reported the first death of a VA patient from coronavirus in mid-March, the number of positive cases — and fatalities — in the department’s health system has risen dramatically.
As of April 1, 53 patients have died from the illness, the majority of them in the last week and a 29 percent increase from the previous day’s total of 41. There were 1,602 patients in VA care who have tested positive for the fast-spreading virus as of April 1. That figure has risen more than 1,200 cases in a week and represents a 19 percent increase from the previous day’s total of 1,347. |
