Every day, acute care hospitals in Washington report the number of lab confirmed COVID-19 cases in their hospital and in their intensive care unit (ICU) to the Washington Department of Health (DOH). The numbers in the columns represent the total hospitals reporting, total number of patients hospitalized, and in the ICU with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 at the hospitals reporting on that day.

The number of hospitals reporting varies on a day-to-day basis, so counts are not directly comparable from day to day. There are 92 acute care hospitals in Washington, excluding our two military hospitals. Behavioral health hospitals are not included in these data.

DOH receives data through partnerships with the Northwest Healthcare Response Network, for Western Washington, the Regional Emergency and Disaster (REDi) Healthcare Coalition, for Eastern Washington, and the Region IV Healthcare Preparedness Alliance, for Southwest Washington, and the Washington State Hospital Association.

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.
