COVID-19 cases rising again in Snohomish County
EVERETT — Snohomish County is racing to vaccinate as many people as possible as a recent rise in cases could foreshadow a fourth wave of COVID-19 infections.
In the two-week case count ending Saturday, the county recorded 92 new infections per 100,000 residents. Last week, it was 72 cases per 100,000.
“This is exactly the wrong direction to be going,” Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers said during a Tuesday media briefing. “We just had a Phase 3 reopening. I do not want to see a rollback.”
The uptick mirrors what’s happening across the state, nation and world as social activity increases amid rising vaccination rates. Now public health leaders are pleading with people to mask up and practice social distancing for a little bit longer.
