GREENSBURG, Pa. — Our news partners at Channel 11 have confirmed two residents at Westmoreland Manor have died from COVID-19. One of those people, Ed Gavlak, died Tuesday morning. Gavlak’s family said he was diagnosed last Wednesday and was transferred to the hospital on Friday. The county coroner confirmed that Gavlak died from the coronavirus.

I’m sure people are trying the best they can, but why is it happening so suddenly?” said his daughter Denise Gavlak. The identity of the other person who died is not yet known. Channel 11 has reached out to officials from Westmoreland County, which owns the facility, about the escalating outbreak. Westmoreland Manor has been dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak in recent weeks.
