2 FROM UPS CAMPUS COMMUNITY TEST POSITIVE FOR COVID-19
Updated 5:30 p.m.
Two people from the University of Puget Sound campus community in Tacoma have tested positive for COVID-19, the school announced Thursday night.
Neither individual has been on the campus since the first week of March, and both are recovering.
One of the individuals was on campus March 6, but has been in isolation since March 9. The other has been away from campus all semester.
“Professionals from CHWS and the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department are working to identify any campus community members with whom the affected individuals indicate they may have come in contact and will advise those individuals of steps or precautions they should take,” the statement says.
The university halted in-person classes when the outbreak began, but is allowing some students — fewer than 150 in total — to continue to live on campus.
“We have moved all course instruction to remote delivery, arranged for employees to work remotely to the fullest extent possible, and reduced the number of students who are permitted to remain in residence halls,” the statement says.
TACOMA FIREFIGHTER TESTS POSITIVE FOR COVID-19
Updated 5:30 p.m.
A Tacoma firefighter has tested positive for COVID-19, city manager Elizabeth Pauli confirmed Friday at a special City Council meeting.

Emergency personnel who were not impacted have been moved to Station 6 on East F Street.
Station 7 is closed to both fire department personnel and the public as equipment and vehicles are cleaned.
U.S. ARMY BRINGS FIELD HOSPITAL TO CENTURYLINK FIELD EVENT CENTER
Updated 5 p.m.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and FEMA have agreed to deploy a military field hospital at Seattle’s CenturyLink Field Event Center to assist local hospitals, according to a release Friday afternoon from Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan’s office.
The field hospital is expected to generate at least 150 beds for non-COVID-19 patients, and 300 soldiers from the 627th Army Hospital of Fort Carson, Colo. have been deployed to staff it.
“As we continue to do everything possible to slow the spread of COVID-19 throughout Washington state, we also need to prepare our health care delivery system to deal with people who are sick, or may become ill, as well as all the other health needs of Washingtonians,” Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said in the release. “This field hospital will help us do that and I am grateful to the Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army, and FEMA for bringing in these much needed resources of people, supplies and equipment. I appreciate Mayor Durkan’s leadership in helping to bring this to the Puget Sound region. Together, we will stop the spread of this virus and help save lives.”
“From the onset of this pandemic, Gov. Inslee and local officials have acted quickly to slow the spread of the virus,” Durkan added. “The arrival of a military field hospital in Seattle is critical to expanding our region’s ability to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will work quickly with the Department of Defense and other federal agencies to ensure that this field hospital is set up and ready to receive patients soon.
“I appreciate the advocacy of Gov. Inslee, quick work of Vulcan Inc., the Seattle Seahawks, and CenturyLink Field to allow the rapid deployment of this field hospital, and I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the men of women of the U.S Army who will be doing life-saving work. As the rest of our region comes together to flatten the curve, we must ensure that our local, state, and federal government agencies are working together to increase access to testing and provide our health care professionals with the vital safety equipment they need to stay healthy as they work to keep the rest of us healthy.”
The Department of Defense is expected to announce additional details in the coming days, as the hospital is constructed.
The Emergency Management Division of the Washington Military Department tweeted Friday that the state also conducted site assessments for potential field hospitals in Pierce and Snohomish counties with the goal being to “identify locations to house additional hospital bed space, if needed.”
The division also tweeted that locations have been identified in Eastern Washington to help with surge capacity.
“Our hospitals still have surge capacity today, but that won’t be the case in the days and weeks to come,” the division tweeted. “Field hospitals will help our hospitals handle non-COVID-19 cases and help save lives.”

INSLEE MAKES STATEMENT ABOUT STIMULUS PACKAGE
Updated 3 p.m.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee released the following statement Friday after President Donald Trump signed the $2 trillion federal stimulus package:
“This public health emergency is impacting all Washingtonians and we need solutions that reflect the size and scale of the moment. Our state welcomes this critically-needed support, as we continue to face down an unprecedented crisis. From investments in essential child care and medical supplies to expanded unemployment insurance and small business support, we know it will make a meaningful difference in people’s lives in the days and weeks ahead.
“However, we also know it is not enough. There’s no question more help will be needed in the coming months to address the harsh economic realities of this moment. Make no mistake — it is a moral imperative that leaders across the country continue to make the difficult choices to protect public health and keep Americans safe. But it is also incumbent on federal government to help address the billions of dollars in shortfalls we are expecting to face at the state, local and tribal levels. This bill does not solve those longer-term challenges.
“I am grateful for commendable efforts of Washington State’s Congressional Delegation, who fought on a bipartisan basis to secure vital resources for Washingtonians who are on the front lines of this crisis. Their leadership in this moment sends a message to every corner of our state that we are truly all in this together.”
Here is a summary of what the stimulus package offers Washington state:
▪ The state’s share of the COVID-19 relief fund is estimated $2.953 billion out of $150 billion total — including $1.624 billion for the state government share and $1.329 billion for the local government share.
▪ A child care development block grant estimated at $58.2 million for Washington out of $3.5 billion total.
▪ Community services block grants for counties and cities to respond to economic and housing impacts caused by the pandemic estimated at $11.8 million for Washington out of $1 billion total.
▪ A low income energy assitance program estimated at $11.1 million for Washington out of $900 million total.
▪ An education stabilization fund estimated at $56.6 million for Washington out of $2.953 billion and elementary and secondary education estimated at $216.9 million for Washington out of $13.229 billion total.
▪ Directions to the federal government to ensure tens of thousands of workers at the Hanford Nuclear Site and PNNL who cannot work remotely will continue to be paid.

PIERCE COUNTY HOSPITALS PREPARING FOR INFLUX OF COVID-19 PATIENTS
Updated 12:30 p.m.
Pierce County hospitals are preparing for an influx of COVID-19 patients by adapting their campuses and in some cases rerouting patients to other hospitals.
All hospitals in the county are screening visitors at the door, asking about recent travel and health, and taking their temperatures. Any visitors who have had a cough in the past two weeks or have traveled outside of the country are being turned away.
Per Gov. Jay Inslee’s request, hospitals are also postponing non-emergency and elective surgeries, and redirecting staff and resources to the pandemic response.
To ration protective equipment, staff are also reusing disposable masks for entire 12-hour shifts or placing them on hooks for visiting specific patients.
CHI Franciscan has redistributed nurses who usually oversee pre- and post-opp surgery patients to visitor screening or helping with the 32 patients across the hospital’s chain who have been confirmed with COVID-19, and the 67 suspected to have contracted the virus.
CHI Franciscan is also ramping up its online health care channels to attend to patients virtually, and has more than 150 clinicians and IT professionals at its virtual hospital in Tacoma available for remote consultations.
The physical hospitals have also converted rooms or entire floors to negative pressure environments, which are encouraged by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for airborne infections. CHI Franciscan has altered its HVAC systems to allow more negative pressure rooms, which push air outside instead of recycling it and pushing it to other rooms in the hospital.
As of Tuesday, the hospital chain had 162 rooms with negative air flow.
MultiCare hospitals in the area are also evaluating how to take care of more COVID-19 patients, according to spokesperson Marce Edwards.
Clinical staff have been redistributed to handle an anticipated increase in patients, Edwards said. MultiCare has 161 positive tests with 25 people hospitalized.
Pediatric patients at Puyallup’s Good Samaritan Hospital are being redirected to Tacoma’s Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital to make more beds available for adults.
The hospital chain is also prepared to expand its emergency departments to outside tents, Edwards said.
MultiCare has also created open wards where patients can be tended to in the same space, which should also help ease the lack of medical supplies.
MultiCare is also looking to add more beds.
TRUMP, INSLEE REPORTEDLY CLASH ON PRESIDENT’S CONFERENCE CALL WITH GOVERNORS
Updated 12 p.m.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and President Donald Trump reportedly clashed during the president’s private conference call with governors Thursday, according to a story published by The Washington Post.
Sources familiar with the call anonymously told the Post after Trump told the governors that his administration was ready to be the “backup” for states hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, Inslee responded, “We don’t need a backup. We need a Tom Brady.”
Inslee also alluded to the Defense Production Act, the Post’s story says, and said Washington needs businesses to be mandated to produce protective equipment such as masks and ventilators.
Inslee also reportedly pleaded with the president to take more action to secure medical supplies for the state, which has the fourth-most reported cases in the country, behind New York, New Jersey and California, and second-most deaths after New York.
Trump reportedly “told Inslee that he and the federal government have already done much for Washington and other states in recent days,” and cited several initiatives, the Post’s story says.
“I am not going to go into great detail, but I will say that I told them that the states should not be competing against each other,” Inslee told Washington-based reporters following the conference call. “We are grateful for their assistance in what they have provided so far.”
This follows an incident earlier this month, when Trump referred to Inslee as a “snake” during a visit to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
That comment came a day after Vice President Mike Pence visited Washington and met with Inslee about the COVID-19 outbreak.
“I told Mike not to be complimentary of the governor, because that governor is a snake,” Trump said of Inslee. “I said, ‘If you’re nice to him, he will take advantage.’ ”
Inslee tweeted out a Daily Beast story Thursday evening in response to Trump commenting about a lot of equipment being asked for by officials medical professionals “that I don’t think they will need.”
“We need a national mobilization of the industrial base in this country,” Inslee wrote on Twitter. “That’s how we won WWII. To get that, we need a president to lead. Washingtonians’ lives depend on it.”
INSLEE: ‘WE ARE NOWHERE NEAR DECLARING VICTORY’
Updated 11:30 a.m.
In response to a story published by The Washington Post on Thursday evening, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee declared on Twitter Friday morning that the state is “nowhere near declaring victory.”
Though recent numbers suggest diagnosed cases have started leveling off in the state, Inslee is still urging residents to continue practicing extensive social distancing.
“Stay home,” he wrote. “Stay healthy.”
SCHOOLS NEED LEARNING PLANS IN PLACE BY MONDAY
Updated 11 a.m.
School districts across Washington state closed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are expected to be ready to proceed with at-home learning beginning next week.
“Our expectation is by Monday they have plans in place,” State Superintendent Chris Reykdal said in a press conference Thursday.
Details have been largely left up to individual districts, and not all will be able to move their learning systems entirely online, he said, but “doing nothing is not an option.”
District officials have been instructed to reach out to families without internet access to find solutions, and some districts have already started rolling out their plans.
There is no directive from OSPI on grading materials at this point, Reykdal said, because “a consistent evaluation model is tough to do.”
The state is also preparing for the possibility of schools being shut down through the end of the 2019-20 school year. Even if schools open again in April, there are uncertainties about whether parents would feel comfortable sending their students back, Reykdal said, and there are still many unknowns.
“It’s a very different world when students are suddenly seeing their teachers in their living room,” Reykdal said.
Locally, Tacoma Public Schools started offering hard copy packets of learning materials to students this week, and beginning Friday the district will contact families with details about how the first phase of laptop distribution will work.
Students will receive calls from their principals Sunday about how they can communicate with teachers remotely.
Teachers will contact students Monday.
PIERCE COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY TRYING TO FIND HOMES FOR 170 PETS
Updated 10:30 a.m.
The Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County reports it has adopted out 266 dogs, cats and other animals and placed another 88 in foster care since the beginning of March.
But, there are still pets at the shelter looking for permanent homes.
“We definitely have seen a lot more traffic over here the last few weeks,” spokeswoman Victoria Gingrey said. “It seems like a lot of folks are using this time to introduce a new pet into their homes, which we are thankful for.”
There are still more than 170 dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs at the shelter, and officials are hoping more people will consider taking in a new animal.
The Humane Society remains open for essential services like adoptions or dealing with stray pets, but have changed procedures to keep employees and visitors safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Only five members of the public are allowed into the facility at a time, and others will be asked to remain in their cars to wait after checking in.
The facility is asking anyone who wants to surrender a pet to schedule an appointment, so staff can stagger arrival times and ensure space and care for all animals.
Spaying and neutering of feral cats has been put on hold.
YOUR MAIL IS SAFE TO OPEN, TPCHD SAYS
Updated 10:30 a.m.
The Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department tweeted Friday morning it is safe to open your mail.

UNION DEMANDS PROTECTIONS AFTER COVID-19 HITS WESTERN STATE HOSPITAL
Updated 10 a.m.
The union representing behavioral health care workers has condemned officials for lack of protection following the reports of five employees and two patients from Western State Hospital testing positive for COVID-19.
“When you dig deep, some of the things are not as effective as they could be,” said Jane Hopkins, executive vice president of the SEIU Healthcare 1199NW, which represents 1,000 employees across Washington including 400 at Western State.
State officials said the hospital is following guidelines to slow the spread of the virus. The hospital has also held training sessions on infectious disease, is screening visitors and new patients for the virus, and providing protective gear for those who come in contact with patients who have the virus.
“It’s a psych hospital, and they are great at treating patients, but when it comes down to it, it is not a medical hospital,” Hopkins said. “They really need someone who does this on a regular basis.”
The hospital employs 2,700 staff members and has 857 beds.
UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS SOAR IN PIERCE COUNTY
Updated 9:30 a.m.
More than 13,000 Pierce County residents filed for unemployment benefits last week, according to new data released from the Washington State Employment Security Department.
Claims in Pierce County were reportedly up to 14,730 as of March 21, a substantial jump from the 1,559 claims filed the week prior.
Statewide, 133,464 new claims were made for the week ending March 21, an increase of 119,310 claims from the week prior. About 19,000 people on average filed a new claim each day last week.
“This data shows the enormity of the situation unfolding in our state,” Employment Security Department Commissioner Suzi LeVine said in a news release. “The velocity and volume of the impact of COVID-19 has created a crisis that is unprecedented in the history of the program — going back to the 1930s when it was established.
“To address this, I have an amazing team working hard on three very clear priorities: get benefits out more quickly to those who are eligible, expand eligibility for those who can utilize this benefit, and help employers find staff for essential jobs. The entire department is doing everything we can to meet the needs of this situation and our fellow Washingtonians.”
Following the social restrictions Gov. Jay Inslee put in place on March 17 to slow the COVID-19 outbreak in the state, the data suggests the the accommodations and food services industries have been hit the hardest.
Those industries made 41,309 new claims last week, while the health care and social assistance industries had 18,902 new claims.
INSLEE ON COVID-19 RESPONSE: ‘WE MUST DO MORE’
Updated 9 a.m.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee took to Twitter on Thursday afternoon to outline the latest in the state’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a thread of 10 tweets, the governor discussed the stay at home order which went into effect at midnight Wednesday, what businesses qualify as essential during the pandemic, his conversation with the president and vice president about increasing testing in the state, long-term concerns about acquiring personal protective equipment, and some good news about how the state seems to have started flattening the curve.
“We think our actions have started to bend the curve in our hardest hit counties,” Inslee wrote.
More than 46,000 tests have been performed in Washington since the outbreak began.
Washington reached 3,207 confirmed cases Thursday, including 147 deaths.
