Snohomish County COVID-19 cases climbing close to record peak

Coronavirus cases in Snohomish County have been increasing for more than a month, according to data from the Snohomish Health District.

The current case rate is the second highest it's been during the pandemic.

Data shows the case rate from October 11-24 is 121.9 people per 100,000. The record for the county was recording in March at 129.1.

That same data set shows outbreaks doubled in the county from six in early October to 12 in mid-October. The positivity rate also jumped from 4.6% to 5.8%. The target for the county is 2% positivity.

Public health officials are urging people to following CDC guidelines.
