NBC News Employee Dies From COVID-19

For a handful of American journalists who have been covering the
novel coronavirus outbreak, the battle against COVID-19 may have
just become even more personal and immediate.

NBC News announced Friday that Larry Edgeworth, an equipment
room employee at ’30 Rock’, succumbed to complications caused by
the virus.

NBC News head honcho Andy Lack delivered a statement about
Edgeworth’s death.

“Many of you were fortunate enough to work with Larry over the
years, so you know that he was the guy you wanted by your side no
matter where you were,” Lack wrote Friday morning.

“We are doing everything we can to support his family during
this very difficult time.”

As testing in the US continues to ramp up, more deaths and cases
will likely be tied to the novel coronavirus.
