Officials have reported first death due to the coronavirus in Washington, D.C., a 59-year-old man.

The man, who has not been identified, was admitted to a local hospital last week, “presenting with symptoms of fever and cough as well as other underlying medical conditions,” according to the D.C. Department of Health.

As the total number of cases has crossed 10,000 in the United States, more than 200 people have died. A 60-year-old man from Prince George’s County was the first fatal case of the coronavirus in the immediate D.C. region, on March 18. Virginia recorded its first death, a man in his 70s in the eastern peninsula area, last week; since then, a second patient in that area has also died.

As the amount of testing has doubled in the city, D.C. now has more than 70 confirmed cases , while Virginia has 114 across the commonwealth and Maryland has 149.

“We certainly want to extend the condolences of the entire District of Columbia to the family,” Mayor Muriel Bowser said at a press conference on Friday afternoon.

Bowser announced that the city’s ban on mass gatherings, school closures, and other measures will remain in effect until April 27.

The mayor warned that the city expects to see a spike in positive cases in the days and weeks ahead and implored residents to stay in this weekend. “I cannot stress enough that the threat of this virus poses very serious consequences for our community. And everyone is susceptible to being affected by this virus. It does not discriminate based on age, race, or gender,” she said. “Everyone can get it and pass it on.”
