Coronavirus In Pierce County: 688 Cases, Tacoma Reports 1st Death

PIERCE COUNTY, WA — Testing has confirmed another 68 new coronavirus cases in Pierce County, bringing the county's official total of COVID-19 cases to 688, the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department announced Sunday.

More than 7,100 Pierce County residents had been tested for the virus as of Sunday. 688 of those tests, or about 9.7 percent, have come back positive.

The new deaths announced Sunday include the first reported death in the city of Tacoma — a woman in her 90s with underlying health conditions.

"As a community, we have collectively suffered a heartbreaking loss, and I hope you will keep this woman and her family in your thoughts and prayers," Woodards said in a statement. "Together, we mourn with those who mourn across the world because of this deadly virus."
