As Island County moves into Phase 2 of the Safe Start reopening plan, there was a stark reminder Friday the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is not over yet.

Camano Island recorded its first death from the novel coronavirus, a woman “in her forties with pre-existing medical conditions.”

It’s the 11th COVID-19 related death in the county, with the other 10 deaths on Whidbey Island.

Ten of the 11 deaths are linked to long-term care facilities.

This marks just the third time the Island County Health Department has sent out a press release dealing specifically with a COVID-19 death.

The two previous times came on March 19, when Island County recorded its first death, and March 30, when two deaths were noted.

There are 180 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the county as of May 28, with 143 on Whidbey and 37 on Camano.
