County records its highest COVID case count since March
EVERETT — Nearly every COVID-19 metric is pointing in the wrong direction for Snohomish County.
The county’s case rate is the second-highest it’s ever been. Unlike the previous spike in virus activity, infections are rising among the most vulnerable populations, including those at long-term care homes. And hospitalizations from the virus are trending upward.
On Tuesday, local leaders warned that if the increase continues, we could see renewal of tight restrictions, akin to last spring.
“I really can’t stress this enough: If you want to prevent another shutdown, please wear a mask, social distance and limit any unnecessary gatherings,” Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers told reporters Tuesday.
