Hamilton has seen its second fatality at the hands of the COVID-19 virus, as another senior-aged resident at Heritage Green Nursing Home in Stoney Creek has died due to complications from the virus.
The 88 year-old woman died this past Monday at the nursing home, less than a week after Heritage Green saw a separate 80 year-old resident become infected with and die from the novel coronavirus after being hospitalized at St. Joseph’s Hospital.
