350 New Coronavirus Cases Recorded In Washington

SEATTLE, WA — State health officials reported 350 coronavirus cases in Washington on Sunday, with the highest daily totals seen in King, Pierce and Spokane counties. The state no longer reports new deaths over the weekend.

Per the latest data, 79,826 patients have tested positive in the state since the crisis began, and at least 1,991 people have died from complications linked to COVID-19. According to the state, approximately 254 patients with confirmed or suspected illnesses are currently hospitalized — a daily total that continues to trend downward.

At least 2,640 new illnesses have been confirmed in Washington over the last seven days, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's case tracker. The number of new cases reported statewide has shown steady improvement in recent weeks.

Many of Washington's counties still show a rate of cases by population higher than the target threshold of 25 cases per 100,000 residents over 14 days. However, King, Pierce, Snohomish, Skagit, Kitsap and Lewis counties are now in the moderate range, between 50 and 75 cases per 100,000. Health officials will be closely monitoring data around the two-week mark from Labor Day, to determine whether a spike occurred over the holiday.

Health labs have processed at least 1,644,585 tests in Washington since the public health crisis began.
