March 17, 20206 yr comment_17661 Our knowledge of COVID-19 is still rapidly evolving. The risk assessment will be updated as needed. 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Washington Updated on March 17, 2020 at 3:15 p.m. County Positive/Confirmed Cases Deaths Chelan 2 0 Clark 4 2 Columbia 1 0 Grant 7 1 Grays Harbor 1 0 Island 14 0 Jefferson 3 0 King 569 43 Kitsap 7 0 Kittitas 3 0 Klickitat 1 0 Lewis 1 0 Lincoln 1 0 Pierce 45 0 Skagit 9 0 Snohomish 254 6 Spokane 4 0 Thurston 5 0 Whatcom 6 0 Yakima 5 0 Unassigned 70 0 Total 1012 52 Confirmed Cases by Age 0 to 19 years 2% 20 to 29 years 7% 30 to 39 years 12% 40 to 49 years 14% 50 to 59 years 16% 60 to 69 years 15% 70 to 79 years 17% 80+ years 17% Confirmed Cases by Sex Female 51% Male 46% Unknown 3% Number of Individuals Tested Positive 1012 Negative 13117 Note on the county and unassigned data: This data changes rapidly as labs conduct tests and discover new cases. Labs assign those cases to a county. Counties or the Department of Health then determine the appropriate county of jurisdiction. Those don’t always match initially. We’re working to reduce the “unassigned” number to 0. Contact the local health department for county specific information. Note on the deaths: Some deaths may be reported by health care providers, medical examiners/coroners, local health departments, or others before they are included in the statewide count. It takes longer for the state to announce deaths because they are often reported first to the local health department and then to us. Note on the number of infections: Public health experts agree that the true number of people who have been infected with COVID-19 in Washington greatly exceeds the number of COVID-19 infections that have been laboratory-confirmed. It is very difficult to know exactly how many people in Washington have been infected to date since most people with COVID-19 experience mild illness and the ability to get tested is still not widely available. https://www.doh.wa.gov/Emergencies/Coronavirus Report
