Pierce County reports 18 new COVID-19 cases, 1 death
Pierce County reported 18 new COVID-19 cases Friday. One additional death – a Tacoma woman in her 90s with underlying health conditions — was also reported.
The county’s totals are now at 2,036 cases and 80 deaths since the outbreak began.
The health department’s website says it has “stopped reporting deaths of COVID-19 patients whose cause of death was not attributed to the disease.”
There have been 20.8 new cases per 100,000 residents during the past 14 days, the site says.
Daily case totals can change as the county receives new information about cases, finds duplicate data or is assigned cases originally attributed to other counties.
There have been 29,916 tests conducted in the county with positive results at 6.7%, according to the state Department of Health.
That total does not include negative tests from long-term care facilities or the 77,000 tests not yet assigned to a county.
