国会议员当选人卢克Letlow, 共和党人, 被诊断出患有Covid-19后死亡, 美国有线电视新闻网证实星期二晚上.
在Twitter上发布的声明中, 路易斯安那州政府. 约翰·贝尔·爱德华兹（John Bel Edwards）写道, “It is with heavy hearts that @FirstLadyOfLA and I offer our condolences to Congressman-elect Luke Letlow’s family on his passing after a battle with COVID-19.”
Two Republican sources also confirmed Letlow’s passing to CNN.
The News-Star in Monroe, 路易斯安那州, was first to report Letlow’s death.
Letlow, 41, had announced his diagnosis on his Facebook page on December 18, writing that he was “at home resting, following all CDC guidelines, quarantine protocols, and the recommendations of my doctors.”
几天后, Letlow posted that he was undergoing treatment at St. Francis Hospital in Monroe before a statement from his office on December 23 said he had been transferred to Ochsner LSU Heath Shreveport Academic Medical Center.
博士. G.E. Ghali, the chancellor of LSU Health Shreveport, said in a statement at the time that Letlow was in “stable condition in the Intensive Care Unit” and was receiving the drug Remdesivir and steroids as part of his treatment.
这是一个突破性的故事，将进行更新.
