Is the US Ready to fight the coronavirus? 2:36

(CNN) - Dozens of people ages 50 to 90 have died in the United States after contracting the new coronavirus, and the death toll continues to rise.

At least 112 people have died since the country's first covid-19 case in January, and the virus has spread to all states, the District of Columbia, and some territories.

While most were cared for in hospitals, one woman died at her home in Washington state.

A couple in Indiana infected with the virus could not be together when one of them died. When they were hospitalized, they used iPads to see each other and a nurse kept one of them before she died, according to Dr. Ram Yeleti, chief medical officer of the Community Health Network.

It is unclear if the deaths include people born abroad, and authorities have not disclosed all their ages.

This is what we have learned about those who died from the coronavirus, according to a CNN data count by state health officials.

Most of them were 60 years or older

Health authorities said older adults were twice as likely to have severe illness from the new coronavirus, and fatal cases in the United States appear to reflect that.

Most of the people who died were between 60, 70, 80 and 90 years old. The youngest were around 50 years old.

Many lived in nursing homes or other facilities

The deadliest group so far has been linked to a nursing home in Kirkland, Washington. More than 20 people who lived there died and someone who visited the facilities.

People who lived in other long-term care facilities in Washington, Florida and Kansas contracted the virus and died.

Many had other health problems

Diabetes, emphysema, and heart problems were among the pre-existing conditions that some people suffered from before they were diagnosed with covid-19.

Only a few traveled abroad

Authorities are still trying to determine how many contracted the virus, but have said that some of those who died recently traveled abroad.

In California, one person went to Thailand and another was on a cruise in Mexico. Two people in Florida had traveled outside the country.
