State update adds five COVID-19 deaths to La Crosse totals, including someone in their 40s

A reconciliation of COVID-19 deaths of La Crosse County residents between the state and the health department.

Five deaths were reported over the weekend, but four of them from La Crosse County were updated from out of the area.

One of those deaths, which happened Sept. 15, was a female in their 40s. That ends up being the youngest person from La Crosse County to have died. Previously, that was someone in their 50s.

Just one of the five deaths happened recently. Two were from December and the other one was from late November.

Regardless, there have been 74 deaths of county residents in total. Here are the monthly totals and ages of those 74 deaths:

Sept.	4	60s	9
