(From the Springfield-Greene County Health Department)

The Springfield-Greene County Health Department is saddened to announce the deaths of three Greene County residents from COVID-19.

Our community lost:
A man in his 50s who had no underlying health conditions,
A woman in her 40s and
A man in his 70s

The Health Department extends our condolences to everyone impacted by these losses.








Forty-seven deaths have been reported by the Health Department in October. A total of 124 Greene County residents have died from COVID-19.

“These latest deaths are a somber reminder of the dangerous nature of COVID-19. Lives quite literally depend on us wearing our masks, washing our hands and watching our distance,” stated Director of Health Clay Goddard.

Nobody is immune to COVID-19—we are all vulnerable to it, but we know some will suffer much more severe outcomes. We share a collective responsibility to fight this disease that will require patience, diligence and sacrifice.
