There are now two COVID-19 related deaths in Grant County, according to the Grant County Emergency Management Agency.

The county’s total number of cases has increased to 19.

In response to the deaths, Marion Mayor Jess Alumbaugh released the following statement on Sunday evening:

City of Mar­i­on and Grant County:

It is with a heavy heart that I share the sad news of the first coro­n­avirus-relat­ed deaths in our com­mu­ni­ty. Three indi­vid­u­als’ deaths have been deter­mined to be caused by COVID-19. The total num­ber of Grant Coun­ty res­i­dents infect­ed by the virus is cur­rent­ly 19.

Please join me in pray­ing for the fam­i­lies and friends of the three human beings who did not sur­vive this pan­dem­ic. And con­tin­ue to lift those who have been infect­ed by the virus and are still in quarantine.

Last but not least, con­tin­ue to pray for our health­care work­ers, first respon­ders, and all the peo­ple who con­tin­ue to work dur­ing this pandemic.

Please stay home for the next 14 days. Don’t stay home because your gov­ern­ment is ask­ing you to stay home. Do it because it’s the right thing to do in these unprece­dent­ed times.

God bless us all!

Mar­i­on May­or Jess Alumbaugh
