Horseheads, N.Y. — One person connected to the cluster of Covid-19 cases linked to the Lighthouse Baptist Church has died, according to Chemung County Health Department’s Facebook page.

The cluster at the church in Horseheads, located about an hour west of Binghamton, has been linked to nearly 100 cases of the coronavirus so far.

The church was linked to 29 confirmed cases in Chemung County and 45 across six counties in New York as of Sept. 10. On Monday, Chemung said the county had confirmed 19 additional cases of the coronavirus linked to the church.

That’s 93 total cases.

No further details on the death have been made available.

Several members of the Lighthouse Baptist Church attended a wedding in Oneida County in late August, although health officials aren’t sure if they exposed other guests at the wedding to the virus or if they picked up the disease and brought it back.
