LYME/OLD LYME — In a report issued yesterday evening, Ledge Light Health Department (LLHD) recorded 11 confirmed cases of COVID-19 among Old Lyme residents as at noon today. There has also been one fatality of a 61-year-old female in Old Lyme.

Seven of the confirmed cases are female and four are male.

In detail, they comprise :

• a 64-year-old female
• a 21-year-old female
• a 27-year-old male,
• a 53-year-old female
• a 61-year-old female
• a 29-year-old female
• a male whose age is unavailable
• a 40-year-old male
• a 53-year-old male
• a 60-year-old female
• a female whose age is unavailable.

The numbers for Lyme continue to show one confirmed case.

First Selectman Timothy Griswold has previously noted that the 21-year-old female was tested in Florida, but used an Old Lyme address although she does not live here. Because she gave the Old Lyme address, Griswold said that LLHD must report her as an Old Lyme resident.

In a preface to their April 17 report, LLHD notes, “This data may conflict with what the Department of Public Health reports on their website, as there is often a significant delay in posting data at the state level.”
