A sixth nun at a convent in a suburb of Milwaukee has succumbed to the new coronavirus, CNN reports. Sister Josephine Seier died May 1 at the age of 94 at Our Lady of Angels, a Catholic convent in Greenfield, Wisconsin, that is home to several dozen sisters. Their COVID-19 diagnoses were all made post mortem. Our Lady specializes in caring for nuns who had retired from service, and long-term care facilities like it have faced mounting coronavirus casualties.
