A woman in her 80s, one of four residents of the Morningside of Springfield East residential care center who contracted COVID-19, died Monday at a Springfield hospital.
The announcement was made at the beginning of a Springfield-Greene County Health Department virtual press briefing.
"I am heartbroken to report the first death from COVID-19 in our community," Springfield-Greene County Health Director Clay Goddard said at the beginning of the briefing.
"This is a sober reminder of what we're fighting here."
More information to come.
