Public Health - Seattle and King County
Director Patty Hayes

Rod Dembowski: 

...I received a sober briefing from Public Health - Seattle and King County Director Patty Hayes on the status of COVID-19 here in King County. 

I encourage you to watch the briefing (which begins at the 21-minute mark) here. 

Director Hayes did not mince words. King County is averaging “well above” the daily target of 40 COVID-19 cases per day.
