Three members of the same New Jersey family have died of COVID-19, the respiratory illness that derives from the novel coronavirus, and four others are hospitalized, after attending a family gathering, The New York Post reports.
Several members of the Fusco family gathered for a family dinner on March 10, according to Pittsburgh’s WPXI-TV. Within days, members of the family began dying within hours of each other, at hospitals across the area. A week later, many members of the family remain sickened, some in critical condition.
The first to die was 55-year-old Rita Fusco-Jackson, one of 11 children of 73-year-old Grace Fusco, who died last Friday in New Jersey, in the process becoming the Garden State’s second death of the disease. On Wednesday, Fusco’s eldest on, Carmine Fusco, also 55, died in a Pennsylvania hospital. Hours later, back in New Jersey, Mrs. Fusco died.
Four other members of the family are still hospitalized, three of them in critical condition.
