According to a tweet from the City of Victoria, " The Victoria County Public Health Department has received a report that a confirmed COVID-19 patient, a male in his 80's has passed away at an acute care facility outside of Victoria County."

The press release was provided by the Victoria County Public Health Department at Victoriatx.org which states, "The Victoria resident had been hospitalized outside of Victoria County for over a month and contracted the novel coronavirus while there. To respect and honor the family, personal information will not be released about this individual."

As also expressed by the Victoria County Public Health Department, we at Townsquare Media would like to offer our condolences to the individual's family and friends, as well as to our community who will certainly feel the sorrow of losing a community member to coronavirus.
The VCPHD offers that "If you feel sick and believe you may have been exposed to COVID-19 to first contact your health care provider."
