Since our last update, the Health Department was informed by KDHE of an additional COVID-19 related death in Leavenworth County that occurred in August. The Kansas Department of Vital Statistics reviews and confirms death certificates before notifications are made to confirm COVID-19 as a cause of death. A gentleman in his 70’s had died from complications with COVID-19 and underlying health conditions. Even though this a delayed notification our condolences are with the family.
In concert with KDHE, Leavenworth County will update our statistics on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Updates may not be published during holiday observances.
Additional Leavenworth County COVID-19 data is updated weekly on Mondays.
