2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Whatcom County

As of Monday, March 23, we are changing the way we report Whatcom County case information. With an increase in the number of confirmed cases, we will now report only the total number of confirmed cases, negative results, and deaths. We will no longer report the age by decade and gender of individual cases.

We are working to provide a breakdown of Whatcom County cases by decade of age in the coming days. 

The number of cases shown here were received through 11:59 pm yesterday.

Last updated: Monday, March 23, 2020 11:57 am.

Confirmed Cases**48
Negative Results*319
Deaths2

** Confirmed Cases: Positive test results for Whatcom County residents reported in the Washington Disease Reporting System as of 11:59 pm.

*Negative Results: Negative test results available for individuals that are known to the Whatcom County Health Department in the Washington Disease Reporting System as of 11:59 pm.
