City health officials on Tuesday reported that three more people died of coronavirus, bringing the total number of fatal cases in Long Beach to six.

All three victims—a man and two women—were in their 80s with underlying health conditions, according to officials.

“Our love and prayers go out to their families and friends,” Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia tweeted.

The city did not reveal whether the three resided in long-term care facilities. At least five facilities have been hit with the virus, although officials have declined to release how many cases are at each facility.

This is the first time Long Beach officials have announced multiple deaths on one day. The last fatal case was on Friday when they said a woman in her 60s with underlying conditions died from the virus.

The city also reported a total of 256 people have tested positive for the virus as of Tuesday, up from 230 on Monday.

Elsewhere in Los Angeles County, officials reported 22 new deaths and 550 new cases today, bringing the countywide totals to 172 deaths and nearly 7,000 confirmed cases.
