Sisters succumb to COVID-19

Infectious disease hospital

Two sisters died within days of each other late last month after contracting the novel coronavirus.

Mary Martin, 64, died on June 25, while her sister, Joan Martin, 71, died three days after. Neither of them had been vaccinated against the virus.

When Stabroek News contacted the family, Mary’s daughter, Rackell Martin told this newspaper that her mother contracted the virus first and subsequently fell ill.
