Current Status in Washington State

The Department of Health and Microsoft's AI for Health team have partnered to create these interactive data dashboards. Simple data summary tables are also available.

August 7, 2020: DOH is continuing to experience issues with its reporting system today, and had additional issues today. We are reporting cases that were in our system by 5:30 pm yesterday, instead of the usual 11:59 pm. Hospitalizations reported will be lower than expected. These two issues will be resolved tomorrow, and we expect to see a higher number of cases and hospitalizations at that time. We are still unable to report new negative test results, and have not since 8/1. Our team is working hard to address these issues and we will post new information as soon as it is available.

Every day, acute care hospitals in Washington are reporting patients hospitalized with COVID-19 to the Department of Health. The numbers in the columns below represent the total number of patients hospitalized with suspect and laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 and those suspect and laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients on ventilators by day.

  • As of July 7, this table was updated to include suspect COVID-19 patients as well as laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients hospitalized and those on ventilators. Also, if a hospital did not provide a daily update, then their last reported data is included in the total counts. This inclusion of suspect cases and prior reporting aligns with the data currently reported on the Governor’s Risk Assessment dashboard on healthcare system readiness.
  • As of May 20, the chart was updated to reflect that hospitals are now reporting the total number of COVID-19 patients ventilated rather than the total number of COVID-19 patients in the ICU. This change aligns the data hospitals submit to DOH with the data they’re required to report to federal agencies.

Hospitals now report data through WA HEALTH, a new application developed in partnership with the Washington State Hospital Association. Previous hospitalization and ICU data were provided 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.

Data Notes

August 7, 2020: DOH is continuing to experience issues with its reporting system today, and had additional issues today. We are reporting cases that were in our system by 5:30 pm yesterday, instead of the usual 11:59 pm. Hospitalizations reported will be lower than expected. These two issues will be resolved tomorrow, and we expect to see a higher number of cases and hospitalizations at that time. We are still unable to report new negative test results, and have not since 8/1. Our team is working hard to address these issues and we will post new information as soon as it is available.

July 13, 2020: The Department is continuing to work on changes to provide more context to death reporting and report death counts that reflect deaths where COVID-19 caused or contributed to the death. We have made additional steps in this process and are removing 39 from our counts. All of these are natural deaths, and after review it was determined that COVID-19 did not cause or contribute to the death. We will continue to update death counts as additional information on cause of death is received.

Notes on testing:

  • Effective July 1, 2020, DOH has added a downloadable table on the "Testing" tab that has individuals with positive and negative tests, and the percent of positive tests by county and day.
  • Two important data issues continue to effect results presented on the testing tab. The first is that there are negative lab results that have not yet been entered into our data system. The second is that about 21% of negative test results do not have an assigned county. These two issues impact some counties disproportionately. Department of Health continues to work on a sustainable solution.
  • Regarding reporting for testing in general, the data presented is by number of individuals not by number of tests.  An individual is only counted one time in all graphics and tables. They are classified by their first positive test result, or their first negative if they never had a positive test.

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.

Case Report Date, June 16, 2020: As of June 16, 2020, DOH switched from using the date a case was reported to the Department of Health to the date of an individual’s first positive lab result. This is a more accurate designation of case confirmation that will shift some case counts by date, most noticeably for cumulative case counts and graphics. This will affect less than 10% of the reported cases.

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.
