<h1>Virus kills 3 who attended <br>family affair in New Jersey</h1>

4 others who were at event are in hospital

A New Jersey mother died from Covid-19 without knowing that her two adult children also got infected and died shortly before she did, The New York Times reported.

Grace Fusco, 73, died Wednesday and was unaware of the deaths of her oldest son and a daughter from Covid-19, the disease caused by Covid-19. A relative told the newspaper that four other children also have Covid-19 and remain hospitalized -- three in critical condition.

The infections appeared to have originated from a family dinner this month, the Times reported. It said the first person to die from Covid-19 in New Jersey attended that gathering. Grace Fusco's oldest daughter, Rita Fusco-Jackson, 55, of Freehold, New Jersey, died Friday. Shortly afterward, the family learned she had Covid-19. Grace Fusco's son, Carmine Fusco, of Bath, Pa., died just before his mother Wednesday.

Nearly 20 other relatives are quarantined at their homes and are grieving the loss separately, The Times said.
