A second Starlink satellite has reentered (358 still in orbit). Starlink-1118 was launched in January, raised altitude to the 350 km parking orbit, but on Feb 5 lowered itself back down to 300 km and then began orbital decay on Mar 16, with reentry on Apr 2.

Of the other 59 sats from the January launch, 39 are in the 550 km operational orbit and 20 are in a 380 km parking orbit.
Actually, STARLINK-1118 is the third Starlink to reenter (not reflected yet in the SATCAT).
