A Washington County resident has died from COVID-19, the Washington County Health Department reported.

This is the first death in the county and the 19th in the state from the disease caused by a new coronavirus.

The person is a man in his 60s with underlying medical conditions.

News of the death comes as the health department reported 7 cases in the county. The Maryland Department of Health reported 1,660 cases in the state, as of 10 a.m. Tuesday.

Reports say that the man who has died from the virus was the manager at Hagerstown’s Taco Bell on Crayton Blv. Assistant managers have stepped in to fill his place.

Dr. Earl E. Stoner, Washington County health officer, said in a press release that he hopes the family will receive support from friends and neighbors.

“We know that many in our community will experience similar losses as more people die from COVID-19,” Stoner said in the release. “This is a sobering reminder of the risk that this virus poses.”

County Executive Joshua Schoemann also expressed his condolences in the press release.

“I was heartbroken to learn that a member of our community has been taken by the coronavirus,” Schoemann said in the release. “In this time of great uncertainty, we worry about all those who have fallen ill and those who we know are vulnerable. Please stay home to protect everyone in Washington County and beyond.”

    whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

    two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
