Amid Coronavirus, King County Recommends Curbing Group Activities
SEATTLE, WA — State and county health officials are urging King County residents to consider working from home when possible and avoid large gatherings of people, particularly if they have underlying health issues.
King County leaders shared updated "social distancing" recommendations during a press briefing Wednesday, as the numbers of illnesses and deaths linked to the new coronavirus continue to grow.
According to the Department of Health, 39 infections and 10 deaths associated with COVID-19 had been confirmed in King and Snohomish counties by Wednesday morning.
Seattle and King County Public Health said the new recommendations are not requirements, but all residents are urged to take proactive steps to minimize exposure.
