GRANT COUNTY — A Quincy man in his 70s is the 10th Grant County resident to die due to complications from the coronavirus, according to Grant County Health District.
The patient had underlying health conditions that put him at a higher risk of severe complications from COVID-19, according to the health district. He died at his home.
Deaths of three other local residents were also linked to the coronavirus in July: a Moses Lake man in his 70s, a Mattawa man in his 50s, and an Ephrata man in his 60s.
