Columbus Regional Hospital has confirmed an individual died this morning at the hospital due to COVID-19.
No further details on that case are being released at this time.
The person who died Monday would be Bartholomew County’s second confirmed death due to the virus.
Robert Lee “Robbie” Amos, 66, of Columbus, died at 9:18 p.m. Friday at Community Hospital South of Greenwood, according to his widow, Hallie Amos. Amos is the first confirmed COVID-19 death of a county resident so far.
Bartholomew County Coroner Clayton Nolting said he has one coroner’s case that is being investigated as a possible COVID-19 death, but said Monday the woman’s test results have not come back yet.
