Washington Coronavirus Updates Paused Until Tuesday Afternoon

SEATTLE, WA — A glitch in Washington's coronavirus reporting system kept the state from releasing coronavirus updates for a second day, officials announced Monday.

On Sunday, the Washington State Department of Health said a data processing issue prevented its dashboards from reflecting up-to-date information. Full reporting had been expected to resume the next day. But on Monday afternoon, the state said it would require another day to complete the fix.

As of 11:59 p.m. Friday, 93,035 patients had tested positive in the state since the crisis began, and at least 2,190 people have died from complications linked to COVID-19. Over the last seven days, 3,988 new illnesses have been confirmed in Washington, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's case tracker.

Despite ongoing issues on the state level, county-level reporting remains functional. In King County, Public Health reported 152 new cases Monday as several "key indicators" continued to trend in the wrong direction.

In recent weeks, the state's most populous county briefly fell to the low end of the moderate range for case counts reported over 14 days. But the latest update shows King County back above the threshold for the highest bracket, at 86 cases per 100,000 residents, and well above the target range. Public Health - Seattle & King County has scheduled a Tuesday afternoon news conference to discuss COVID-19 spread.
