Peach County 29-year-old is youngest COVID-19-related death in Georgia

There have been 102 COVID-19 deaths in Georgia, including 1 in Peach, 2 in Houston, and 1 in Baldwin County

PEACH COUNTY, Ga. — A 29-year-old woman in Peach County is now the youngest COVID-19-related death in Georgia, according to the Georgia Department of Public Health.

Overall, the state has seen a total of 102 deaths, including one in Peach, 2 in Houston, and 1 in Baldwin County.

Their daily update on Monday said this weekend's virus deaths include a 29-year-old woman in Peach County.

So far, she's the only COVID-19 victim across the state who's younger than 30.

The state listing says it's unknown whether that person had any previous medical complications.

The state has not identified any of Georgia's 100-plus victims, and spokesman Michael Hokanson would not name the Peach County woman.

However, a Fort Valley funeral home posted an obituary for a 29-year-old woman who died this weekend in Houston Medical Center.

The woman was married and reportedly a lecturer at Fort Valley State University.

Both the funeral home and Fort Valley State University have declined to comment.
