The legendary mountaineer Jim Whittaker, the first American to summit Mount Everest, has died at age 97.

With nine more cases this week, 11 staff members and residents at a Jacksonville group home for people with developmental disabilities have tested positive for COIVD-19. Arc Jacksonville Executive Director Jim Whittaker told The News Service of Florida on Friday that six residents and three staff members at the Bert Road group home tested positive for the virus this week. In addition to the positive cases at the Bert Road facility, two staff members at another Arc Jacksonville group home have tested positive, Whittaker said. No residents at the St. Nicholas group home had tested positive as of Friday. The county tested his entire staff, Whittaker said, after the two residents were hospitalized.
