Several western Washington counties experiencing high levels of COVID-19 infection
COVID-19 cases are rising across the state of Washington.
According to the state department of health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, several counties — including King, Skagit, and Snohomish — are experiencing high levels of community infection.
Experts say new variants like BA.5 are responsible for a majority of cases.
With the rise in cases, experts are urging people to take preventative measures immediately, especially those who are at high risk for severe illness. Health officials are recommending people wear masks indoors and on public transportation, preferably with an N95 or KN95 mask, as they offer the best protection.
