ANDROSCOGGIN VALLEY — The COVID-19 Community Task Force started its Tuesday meeting with a dedication to those lives lost during the pandemic.
Noting it was All Souls Day, North Country Healthcare Director of Marketing James Patry said it seemed appropriate on a day dedicated to remembering the departed to think of the 59 residents of Coos County who have died of COVID-19. At least eight have died in the past two weeks.
