ALBANY, N.Y. â Albany County has ended January as the deadliest month since the start of the pandemic.
On Sunday, Albany County Executive Dan McCoy announced three additional COVID-related deaths. They are one woman and two men who are all in their 70s. The death toll is now 315 since the outbreak began.
âOn the last day of January, we are sadly reporting that another three people have died, which brings us to 89 Albany County residents who have lost their lives to the virus this month, McCoy said.
