On January 21, 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Washington State Department of Health announced the first case of 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the United States in Washington State.

This guidance does not pertain to Gov. Jay Inslee’s Stay Home, Stay Healthy order issued 3/23/2020. Information on that order is available on the Governor's website.

Current Status in Washington State

Please note that we have shifted our reporting process to make it more accurate, timely and complete. We are reporting confirmed cases, laboratory tests and deaths as of the previous day at 11:59 pm PT.  Effective April 4, we are modifying our data system to log negative test results differently. During the transition, new negative test results will not be displayed. See DOH’s March 31 news release for information about the reason for this change.

Acute care hospitals in Washington are reporting data every day to their local health care coalition and the Department of Health on the number of patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 admitted to their hospital, including the number of patients admitted to their intensive care unit. The number of hospitals reporting varies on a day to day basis, so counts are not directly comparable from day to day.

Data are provided through partnerships with 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.
