WILMINGTON, MA — Twenty Wilmington residents have died with the new coronavirus, including three not living at one of the two nursing homes with outbreaks. Twelve residents of the AdviniaCare nursing home have died, while five have died at CareOne.

In total, 170 residents have tested positive for the new coronavirus. Breakdowns are not available for the nursing homes, but outside of them, 32 residents are currently positive, 30 have recovered, and three have died.

Eight residents are in quarantine, as of Monday.
