Washington state has reported another death of a patient with confirmed coronavirus, marking the seventh fatality linked to the virus in the U.S. The news comes just a day after officials held a press briefing to announce several new cases of COVID-19 in residents, bringing the total number of patients in the state to 14.
The latest fatality involves a Kirkland nursing home resident who died last week at Harborview Medical Center but was only recently confirmed to have the virus.
