Local COVID-19 case numbers as of Friday, April 15, 2022

Monday, April 18, 2022

KING COUNTY CASES

According to Public Health Seattle and King County, COVID-19 cases are rising slowly but steadily over the past month. In our region, the Omicron surge rose rapidly in December and peaked in early January. A steep decline followed, hitting a low point in mid-March. Since that time, cases have started to rise again more slowly, but are much lower than the peak we saw in January.

To put our current number of cases in perspective, at the peak of the Omicron surge, we were seeing an average of 6,500 new cases reported daily.

Currently, we’re seeing an average of 484 new cases each day. That’s about three times the number of cases reported at the low point we experienced a month ago, but 7% of the number at the Omicron peak.

State Board of Health votes not to include COVID-19 in required immunizations for school entry but supports vaccinations

Thursday, April 14, 2022

Photo courtesy CDC
On Wednesday, April 13, 2022, the Washington State Board of Health (SBOH) voted not to include COVID-19 in the state’s immunization requirements for school entry at this time.

As stated in the SBOH meeting, the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) supports the recommendation of the SBOH’s technical advisory group (TAG) and thanks the TAG for its thorough and methodical and transparent review of this matter over several months.

During the SBOH discussion, it was made clear that both DOH and SBOH continue to support COVID-19 vaccines as being safe and effective, and particularly protective against severe illness, hospitalization, and death. 

Staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccine recommendations is the best way to protect community members against COVID-19.

DOH continues to remind community members to help protect our schools, educators, and students by urging everyone to continue to do their part by getting vaccinated and boosted, if eligible. DOH reminds people to wear a mask if needed, stay home and get tested if they feel sick, and follow isolation recommendations if they test positive.

DOH states that COVID-19 is increasing in some communities, and we must still actively work to prevent its spread.

Mental health is a critical component of public health

Monday, April 11, 2022

Mental health is a critical component of public health, and one of the most common health conditions in the US. 

Strategies like being active, getting sleep, eating a well-balanced diet, practicing gratitude, participating in activities you enjoy, developing coping skills, meditating, and connecting with others can improve mental health.

CASES LAKE FOREST PARK

King County’s Health Officer, Dr. Jeff Duchin: Big picture – new COVID-19 case and hospitalization numbers in King County are significantly lower than the peak we saw in January of this year. At that time, we were seeing an average of 6,500 new cases daily. 

Currently, we’re seeing an average of just over 300 new cases reported each day. It’s a similar story for hospitalizations – in early January, we had an average of 60 new COVID-19 hospitalizations daily, compared to an average of three to four currently. These metrics mean that King County is classified as “low” according to CDC’s COVID community level framework.

However, in the last two weeks, the number of new COVID-19 cases in King County has been increasing. We’ve seen a 91% increase in the last two weeks, from an average of 186 new cases daily the week of March 21, to an average of 356 new cases daily this week. Hospitalization rates have stayed relatively steady, hovering around two to four new hospitalizations per day since mid-March, and deaths have been falling since early February.

Because we’re starting at a relatively low baseline number of cases, hospitalizations and deaths currently, small increases lead to percentage increases that appears large compared to the actual size of the increase

Although the number of cases is rising, hospitalizations right now are lower than what we’ve seen during most of the pandemic.

Dept of Health: Effective anti-COVID drug available in Washington for eligible patients

Tuesday, April 5, 2022

OLYMPIA – Thousands of doses of a potentially life-saving COVID-19 drug are available in the state of Washington, and could potentially benefit those at highest risk for hospitalization and death from COVID-19.

Evusheld (tixagevimab co-packaged with cilgavimab) is a monoclonal antibody treatment that can provide protection against COVID-19. Provided via injection, it can be given to adults and children 12 years and older before infection with COVID-19. 

At present, those eligible to receive Evusheld include people who are moderately to severely immunocompromised or have had a severe allergic reaction to a COVID-19 vaccine.

Individuals interested in this treatment should talk to their health care provider to determine if they are eligible for Evusheld. If they are, they can work with their providers to find a facility where they can receive the injection.

“Statewide, our cases and hospitalizations are moving in the right direction, but there are still deaths from COVID-19 every day, and a rise in cases caused by new variants is always a possibility,” said Tao Sheng Kwan-Gett, MD, MPH, Chief Science Officer. 
“We want to make sure patients who are immunocompromised know about treatments like Evusheld. It could be a game-changer for those who need extra protection.”

People at high risk for severe disease from COVID-19 who are not eligible for Evusheld should ask their health care provider about other antiviral and monoclonal antibody treatments for COVID-19 that are available by prescription only and must be given within the first few days of COVID-19 symptoms to be effective.

Evusheld was first released for use in December 2021 and was initially very difficult to access due to limited supply. Additional information on Evusheld for patients, parents and caregivers can be found here

More information on COVID-19 therapeutics can also be found at Washington State Department of Health’s website here, and information for health care providers including a listing of sites where COVID-19 therapeutics are allocated can be found here.

Second COVID-19 booster dose recommended for certain individuals

Thursday, March 31, 2022


OLYMPIA – People age 50 and older and certain immunocompromised individuals can now get a second booster dose of an mRNA (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna) COVID-19 vaccine at least four months after receiving their initial booster dose. 

The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) updated its booster dose recommendations following guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup.

DOH’s updated booster dose recommendations are as follows:
  • Everyone 12 and older should receive a booster dose five months after completing their two-dose vaccine series of Pfizer or Moderna, or two months after receiving the single-shot Johnson & Johnson (J&J) vaccine.
  • Everyone 50 and older can receive a second booster dose four months after receiving their first booster dose.
  • Individuals 12 and older who are moderately or severely immunocompromised can receive a second booster dose four months after receiving their first booster dose.
  • Those 18 and older who received a primary vaccine and booster dose of the J/J vaccine four months ago can receive a second booster dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.

“Giving certain individuals the opportunity to receive a second booster dose will help us protect those at highest risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19. It’s a great way for people over 50 to get added protection, especially those with underlying medical conditions and those 65 and older,” said Tao Sheng Kwan-Gett, MD, MPH, Chief Science Officer. 
“Boosters are safe and effective at preventing infection and severe illness. If you have not yet received your initial booster dose and you are eligible, get boosted as soon as possible.”


As of March 26, more than 2.7 million Washingtonians age 12 and older have received a booster dose, which is 58% of the eligible population. Of those age 50 and older, roughly 70% of the eligible population has received their first booster dose. This data can be found on DOH’s COVID-19 Data Dashboard under the “Vaccinations” tab.

To make a vaccine or booster appointment, visit Vaccine Locator, Vaccines.gov, or call the COVID-19 Information Hotline at 833-VAX-HELP. Language assistance is available. Those with further questions are encouraged to visit DOH’s COVID-19 Vaccine Frequently Asked Questions webpage or talk to their trusted health care provider.

COVID-19 Case Numbers
as of Friday, March 25, 2022

The numbers reported in this article are still being verified as the reporting agencies strive to confirm cause of death, remove duplicates, verify residence, and catch up to a huge backlog from January's surge.

Last week I mentioned the breakthrough cases, where fully vaccinated people were still getting COVID-19. Here's the latest data from the state DOH:

At a Glance (data from January 17, 2021 - March 12, 2022)
• 409,873 SARS-CoV-2 vaccine breakthrough cases have been identified in Washington State. Of these breakthrough cases:
  • 18% reported symptoms
  • 2% were hospitalized
  • 0.5% died of COVID-related illness

Health officials are carefully watching the spread of BA.2 but so far it is acting just like omicron with few serious cases in the vaccinated population.

Moving ForWArd into the next phase of Washington’s COVID-19 response

Monday, March 21, 2022

OLYMPIA – As Washington’s COVID-19 response continues to evolve, the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) is laying out its long-term ForWArd plan to keep people safe and healthy as we move to the next phase of the pandemic and co-exist with COVID-19 for the foreseeable future. 

To date, more than 13 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered across Washington, leading to one of the highest state vaccination rates in the country and helping the state maintain one of the lowest COVID-19 death rates among states.

“Washington has come a long way since January 2020, when the country’s first confirmed case of COVID-19 was found in our state,” said Governor Jay Inslee. “I am proud of the steps Washingtonians have taken over the past two years to keep themselves, their loved ones, and their neighbors safe, as we worked together to fight this evolving virus. I appreciate DOH’s efforts to create our state’s ForWArd plan which provides one more tool to help us all keep one another safe and healthy
 
The ForWArd plan has three main priorities with seven commitments:

Engagement and Empowerment
  • The agency’s main priority continues to be the health and safety of everyone in Washington. This includes preventing severe disease caused by COVID-19 and supporting healing and general wellness.
  • DOH will monitor the science and COVID-19 updates to provide people and organizations across Washington with the latest health information, guidance, and resources to stay safe, and do so with an equity lens.

Prevention through Vaccines, Tests, and Masks
  • Vaccines are the most powerful tool available to prevent serious illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19. We will continue efforts that will help us further close equity gaps and support mobile outreach efforts.
  • DOH has distributed millions of at-home tests through efforts like “Say Yes! Covid Test” and through local and tribal partners. We will work to expand these efforts while maintaining access to diagnostic testing.
  • Masks are an effective safety measure to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses. DOH is prepared to provide personal protective equipment (PPE), including a 60-day supply to support the healthcare system.

System Readiness
  • DOH is committed to proactive data monitoring and disease detection through genomic sequencing 10% of COVID-19 cases and using additional tools to gauge ongoing transmission trends and changes in conditions that signal a need to change our response.
  • The agency will support health system capacity through workforce resiliency efforts and provide medical supplies such as ventilators and hospital beds and patient balancing across the system.
  • Treatment and therapeutics are also key to preventing and treating COVID-19 and protecting the healthcare system. DOH will ensure access to available antivirals and monoclonal antibodies, particularly to areas or groups with higher disease burden and reduced access.

“While we don’t know when the pandemic will truly end, we do know how to protect ourselves and our communities from COVID-19. DOH is committed to following a path to recovery by empowering people, organizations, and businesses to come together to protect each other, keep our economy strong, our schools open, and our state moving forward,” said Deputy Secretary Lacy Fehrenbach.

What King County's mask mandate rollback means for you

Sunday, March 13, 2022

Photo courtesy King County Public Health
Starting Saturday, March 12, King County stopped requiring masks in many indoor public spaces. 

Individuals will now be able to make their own choices as to whether they want to continue wearing masks, and businesses may decide whether they want to require employees and customers to wear masks.

In practice, what does this mean for you?

It’s a good sign. Coronavirus cases and hospitalizations have fallen and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the spread of the virus in the community is now low in King County. Our high vaccination rates are providing important protection against severe COVID-19. We will continue working towards getting as many people boosted as possible to further protect us.

It doesn’t mean the pandemic is over. There may be future surges or new variants that will lead us to reassess the need for additional masking recommendations and other measures to protect our community.

Certain people may still want to wear masks. COVID-19 is still circulating and some risk remains, especially for vulnerable people. For this reason, the use of high-quality, well-fitting masks still makes sense for certain people, particularly in crowded indoor settings with poor ventilation. It is reasonable to continue to wear a mask in indoor public spaces if you are immunocompromised or at increased risk for severe disease, unvaccinated, or are in contact with someone at high risk.

Some people may choose to wear a mask out of consideration for people who may be at high risk in public settings, or if they want to further reduce their own risk for any reason.

And with COVID-19 still circulating, anyone who wants to further reduce their risk for any reason may choose to continue to mask in indoor public spaces.

It’s a good idea to still keep that mask handy. Masks are still required on public transit, in healthcare settings, long-term care settings and correctional facilities. So whether you’re taking the bus to work, visiting grandma at her nursing home or going to the doctor, you’ll still want to bring along a high-quality mask.

Masks will still be required here
Businesses can choose to require masks. While King County no longer requires masks, individual businesses can implement their own requirements for mask wearing and vaccine verification. Keep an eye out for posters in shop windows that explain what the rules are in that business and be respectful of their requirements. Many businesses are trying to be sensitive to the needs of both their customers and employees and will appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation during this period.

Masks are required here
You can still choose to wear a mask. If you don’t feel ready to take that mask off yet, that’s perfectly understandable and reasonable. COVID-19 has been part of our lives for two years and there are important reasons why masking still makes sense for some people.

Keep taking steps to protect yourself and the community. Get a booster shot when you become eligible, vaccinate yourself and your family, wear masks where required and gather in places with good ventilation. These measures will help continue lowering the spread of coronavirus and keep us safer.

The bottom line: familiarize yourself with where masks are still required, respect the rules that businesses set, and make the decisions you feel are best for you and your family.
