County Executive Steve Bellone on Friday said that seven people have died of the coronavirus outbreak in Suffolk County so far.

Three of the newly confirmed fatalities were people who were in their 90s who were connected to the Peconic Landing medical facility in Greenport, Bellone said. He added that the facility is taking every possible measure to prevent the spread of the virus.

Two of the residents died at the retirement community, and the third died at a hospital.

Officials say the first case of COVID-19 was discovered in the community 10 days ago. Staff say a per diem employee tested positive after they were unknowingly exposed to the virus.

Peconic Landing says 86 people live in the health center portion of the community, and 12 more have tested positive for the coronavirus. One is in hospice care and another is in a hospital.
