CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK A timeline: 88 deaths in 90 days
EVERETT — It has been 90 days since a Snohomish County man became the first person in the U.S. to test positive for a mysterious new virus.
Only weeks later did the World Health Organization give an official name to the disease it causes: COVID-19.
Early on, contact with a known coronavirus patient or “recent travel to China” were requirements to be tested.
By late February, public health officials realized the virus had infected many people far beyond Asia.
