correct usage

Post by tamguatlay »

Dear Alan,
Please ignore this post, as an identical post had been posted earlier. I'm sorry for making this mistake.

Ms Tam

An unvaccinated 83-year-old Singaporean woman has died from complications due to Covid-19 infection on Saturday (July 24).

1. Should "died" replace "has died"?
2. Should it be "due to a Covid-19 infection"?

Thanks!
