Health officials worry state is heading in wrong direction with rise in COVID-19 cases
SEATTLE -- Local health leaders say they don't like the direction the state is heading in with COVID-19 cases on the rise.
King County Public Health Officer Doctor Jeff Duchin says they'll be proactive.
"We're depending on one another to prevent infections and stay safe," Duchin said. "Unless we can successfully manage the risk of COVID-19, it'll be very difficult to continue to reopen and move forward."
He says from June 14-20, King County saw 156 more cases than the previous week -- a 60% increase in cases.
King County joins places like Whatcom, Snohomish, Skagit and Pierce Counties as seeing more recent cases.
