Finally, Snohomish County's COVID case rate in double digits
EVERETT — Snohomish County’s COVID infections are as low as they’ve been since 2021’s “hot vax summer.”
“Everything’s going in the right direction,” Snohomish Health District health officer Dr. Chris Spitters said Tuesday.
Last week, 290 new confirmed infections brought the county’s two-week case rate down to double digits: 79 per 100,000. Fourteen people were hospitalized for the virus as of Tuesday afternoon, compared to this winter’s peak of more than 200.
Test positivity, school outbreaks and cases in longterm care facilities are all trending downward, too, Spitters said.
