The Long Beach Island Health Department confirmed Monday that a 91-year-old female resident of LBI has died from the novel coronavirus – the sixth Island resident to succumb to COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic earlier this year.

LBIHD’s Dec. 11 report, available on lbihealth.com, listed 18 new cases on the Island last week, with another five over the weekend, according to Health Officer Dan Krupinski.
