Pierce County starts week with nine new COVID-19 cases, no new deaths
Pierce County reported 9 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 on Monday and no additional deaths.
The county’s totals are now at 2,059 cases and 80 deaths since the outbreak began. The Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department estimates there are about 357 cases still active.
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.
Pierce County had 188 new cases in the last 14 days, an average of 13.4 new cases each day.
There have been 30,991 tests conducted in the county with positive results at 6.6%, according to the state Department of Health. Care facility negative tests are unavailable and about 79,000 tests aren’t yet assigned to a county, which means the positive test rate is likely lower.
Testing is available at various sites in the county. For more information, go to tpchd.org/healthy-people/diseases/covid-19/testing-information.
