The Snohomish Health District is now providing regular updates on case counts in Snohomish County.
Our update on case counts is issued at approximately 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. As of March 22, 2020, we will not have our daily 2 p.m. updates on weekends. We will continue daily updates at 2 p.m. on weekdays. Cases reported over the weekend will be reflected in Monday’s update.
Please be aware, as more testing has become available, we are getting increased numbers of reports from laboratories and other facilities. It takes time to reconcile data in order to report numbers accurately. Each table is labeled with when it was last updated on this page.
In addition, we report case numbers, including numbers of deaths, each day that are official through 11:59 p.m. the night before. People may hear directly from health care facilities that provide different numbers of deaths than our official count, and may be providing it before we have the information and a chance to reconcile the data.
Due to the increased numbers of cases and more data flowing into the Snohomish Health District that needs to be analyzed, we are no longer able to provide specific information about all cases as we did earlier in this outbreak.
We are committed to providing accurate information while respecting the medical privacy of those who become ill with COVID-19.

Public Health—Seattle & King County launches new data dashboard and social campaign, and other COVID-19 updates for March 25, 2020
March 25, 2020
Summary
A new public campaign launched, called "Stand Together, Stay Apart." Public Health—Seattle & King County launched a new data dashboard to update daily case counts and deaths. Public Health announced 82 new cases of COVID-19 today, bringing the official case count in King County to 1359. In addition, six new deaths are reported, bringing the total of deaths in King County to 100.
Story
Stand Together, Stay Apart
Public Health—Seattle & King County has launched a new public information campaign called, Stand Together, Stay Apart in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The campaign urges people to stay home, limit their contact with others, and take the necessary precautions when making essential trips outside the home.
It includes a 30 second video message from Dr. Jeff Duchin, Health Officer for Public Health, shared on Twitter.
Additional social media messages are appearing on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
The purpose of everyone staying home, even people who are young and healthy, is to slow the spread of COVID-19 and help preserve the stability of our healthcare system.
Data dashboard shows total cases, deaths and demographics
Starting today, Public Health—Seattle & King County will be announcing daily updates to COVID-19 cases and deaths in a new format. A data dashboard goes online today that includes much more information about the status of COVID-19 cases in King County. Many residents have been wondering how many people have tested positive in their city or zip code. Some have been asking about the age ranges of those who test positive or who have died. All of this information is available via the new dashboard, at www.kingcounty.gov/covid/data
The dashboard will be updated daily between 1:00 and 2:00 p.m., pending the receipt of data from key sources, including the Washington State Department of Health. Yesterday, due to reporting difficulties, the totals supplied were estimates. The dashboard includes a timestamp of the most recent updates.
Because there are delays in reporting data from various laboratories, meaning case totals for any given day are commonly reported two or three days later, a graph showing the trend of COVID-19 cases may appear to be flat or declining – but we must assume that this does not actually represent a decline. As more data arrives, each recent day’s count will go up. The total case count and its rate of increase is a better indicator of current trends.
The dashboard includes important information that appears when a user hovers over key data points. A mobile version is also available.
For additional information about COVID-19 and the response in King County, be sure to check our webpage: www.kingcounty.gov/covid
Case updates
Public Health—Seattle & King County is reporting the following confirmed cases and deaths due to COVID-19 through 11:59 p.m. on 3/24/20.
1,359 confirmed positive cases (up 82 from yesterday)

Important note: With the launch of the new data dashboard described above, Public Health will no longer be listing individual deaths by age and gender in our News Release. Detailed information about demographics of those who died from COVID-19 is available on the dashboard. Be sure to click the button to filter by “positive results only” to see age and gender of deaths.
Isolation and quarantine facilities update
Isolation and quarantine is a proven public health practice for reducing the spread of disease. Examples of people who may need this assistance include people who cannot safely isolate from a family member who is elderly or medically fragile, or people experiencing homelessness. Individuals can only be placed into the King County sites after a health professional with Public Health—Seattle & King County has determined that they need isolation or quarantine.
Five people are currently staying in a King County isolation and quarantine facility.
King County has opened the second of several planned isolation and quarantine sites. Located at 1132 N. 128th Street in North Seattle, this location will have space for 31 people.
The number of people in King County's isolation and quarantine sites will be included in regular updates provided by Public Health—Seattle & King County. No other identifying or personal information will be provided.
We now know that COVID-19 is here to stay for the foreseeable future. It’s important to understand how to live our lives while keeping ourselves, loved ones and community as safe as possible. How can we do that? By using all the tools we’ve learned so far: staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccines, getting tested and staying home if sick or exposed, wearing a mask in crowds, and keeping our distance.

Updates for March 26, 2020: New cases of COVID-19 continue to rise, but community actions may be limiting the spread
March 26, 2020
Summary
Community actions may be helping to limit the spread of COVID-19. Public Health announced 218 new cases of COVID-19 today, bringing the official case count in King County to 1577. In addition, nine new deaths are reported, bringing the total of deaths in King County to 109.
Story
As cases of COVID-19 continue to rise, community actions may be helping to limit the spread
The COVID-19 outbreak in King County is ongoing, with more than 200 new positive cases announced today, and typically 100 or more new cases each day. Many of our healthcare systems are feeling strained to care for the increased number of COVID-19 patients. In addition, most of our long term care facilities (including nursing homes), with especially vulnerable residents, have been impacted by COVID-19 outbreaks.
It's critically important that we continue to stay home and limit our contact with others," said Dr. Jeff Duchin, Health Officer for Public Health—Seattle & King County. "Some initial indications suggest that these types of community mitigations are having a positive impact on decreasing the spread of disease, even if we can't measure it precisely yet."
Most people who become ill with COVID-19 show their first symptoms more than a week after exposure, and it may be two weeks before someone becomes seriously ill. Our healthcare systems continue to take steps to prepare for an increasing number of hospitalized and critically ill patients.
